Montreal Canadiens at Boston Bruins

We now go into Boston to face the defending Stanley Cup Champs. Boston have a embarassment of talent on defense, but RD Gerald Lowe maybe the best of the them. The 32 year old Rowe has a goal and 4 points in 4 games for the Bruins. He eats up about 24-25 minutes a game and is coming off a 16 goal, 63 point season that saw him rate a +31. LD Tom Grimes plays more a defensive game, but can contribute offensively as well. The 29 year old Grimes has 20 goals and 93 points along with 187 PIMs in 168 NHL games since 80-81, all for the Bruins. RW Mike McDaniel already has 3 goals and 5 points this season in 4 games, he had 29 goals and 71 points last season with 214 PIMs and a incredible +46 rating. The 33 year old does not play timid as he has 507 career PIMs since the 80-81 season including 62 fights.

The Bruins are 2-2-0 while the Habs are 2-3-0 and because of back to back games, G Steve Burris will start for Montreal in his 2nd start, he has a .875 save %.

Boston scores on their 1st shot of the night 90 seconds into the game for a early 1-0 lead. Burris held the Bruins at bay for the remainder of the 1st as the Bruins outshot Montreal 14-4 in the period.

There is no scoring in the 2nd period and the Bruins continue to control the play now out shooting Montreal 24-6. Both teams are 0 for 3 on the PP.

The 3rd period was much the same, Boston out shot 16-6 in the period and Montreal could not even get Burris out of the net for an extra attacker late in the game as Boston controlled the puck.

Boston's C Danny Clair was named the 1st star, he had the only goal and now has 2 on the season in 5 games. The 19 year old Clair did have 6 goals and 27 points in his rookie NHL season last year. Clair was the 89th overall pick in the 1981 draft by the Bruins.
