The Bruins and Canadiens will play in their first of four regular-season meetings on Thursday night when the two teams write another chapter in the NHL’s most exciting rivalry at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
Boston enters the contest atop the Atlantic Division standings with 38 points, one point ahead of Montreal. The Canadiens are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games (which includes a three-game winning streak), but they may have to battle fatigue in their showdown against the Bruins because it will be the second game of a back-to-back.
Check out the video above to hear what Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk and head coach Claude Julien had to say about Thursday’s matchup.
