In the second game of a home-and-home with the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal beat the Bruins again, this time the final score was 4-2. The Bruins had spurts where they played with energy and played smart, mainly in the third period, but there were other times where they just let Montreal control the play and took dumb penalties. Yea there were some weak calls on the Bruins but they also took some dumb ones, referring to Milan Lucic, Nathan Horton and Andrew Ference. Again Tuukka Rask got no support in front of him and still remains winless this season as the Bruins remain in last place in the Northeast Division. Even the awful Ottawa Senators have more points than the Bruins. This may be a long season if the Bruins don't wake up soon. Here's the scoring summary of the game.
In the first period, Montreal scored twice, one of them being a power-play goal.
In the second period, Montreal scored another power-play goal making it 3-0. Later Milan Lucic scored his 3rd goal of the season to make it 3-1. Shawn Thornton got into a fight with Travis Moen but not much happened in the fight as both guys didn't really land anything. Moen made sure to get Thornton's jersey over his head so the linesmen could break it up quick.
In the third period, with Tuukka Rask pulled, Tyler Seguin scored his team-leading 4th goal of the season with 55 seconds left in the game to make it 3-2. Tomas Plekanec would seal the game as he scored an empty net goal to make it 4-2.
