The game today will mark the 100th year since the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens first played each other and the Bruins first game in history. During their first meeting the Boston Bruins came out with a win, and are hoping to do the exact same thing tonight as they host the Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden.
Joe Sacco and the Bruins are looking to bounce back after a tough loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday. The Bruins have the upper hand tonight as well as they face the Canadiens who currently sit in last place in the Atlantic Division, and have also lost three of their last four games.
