The Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins will clash in an Original Six matchup on Tuesday at Bell Centre.
The old foes will complete their regular-season series on Tuesday. Boston lost to Montreal 6-2 at home in December but leads the series 2-1. They came away with a 3-2 victory from their previous visit to the Bell Centre.
Results in head-to-head games could become a decisive factor in a tight Atlantic Division, and Montreal will also want to rebound from back-to-back losses on Tuesday night. The team hosted San Jose and Anaheim over the weekend, allowing four goals in each game.
The Bruins have flipped between wins and losses since the season resumed after the Olympics. They haven’t won two games in a row since late January. On Tuesday, Marco Strum's side has a chance to end its long search for back-to-back wins, having beaten the Washington Capitals 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday.
Goaltender Jeremy Swayman played a vital role in Saturday’s win and will be expected to put in another strong performance on Tuesday. The Olympic champion has gone 4-1-0 in five starts this month, allowing 1.78 goals with a .930 save percentage.
