The Boston Bruins have recently dominated the Montreal Canadiens, but they were unable to extend their dominance in a strange 3-2 overtime loss at Bell Centre on Saturday night.
The Bruins’ record dropped to 11-1-2 on the season, while the Habs improved at 7-5-2.

ONE MAJOR TAKEAWAY
If we’re being honest, this game stunk during the first two periods.
In the first three minutes of the third period, Montreal scored two goals to take the lead. Boston seemed to respond shortly thereafter, but Oskar Steen was called for goaltender interference, wiping their game-tying goal off the board. The sequence (understandably) put the Bruins in a foul mood, as Brad Marchand looked to send a message to the officials but was called for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Boston eventually tied the game on a Marchand power-play goal, sending things to overtime. The Bruins weren’t able to pull another rabbit out of their hat, however, as Kaiden Guhle put the game away for the Canadiens.
