Game summary video of the Bruins @ Canadiens game on March 12, 2014.
Quick game summary
In the first period, no scoring happened.
In the second period, Bruins Carl Soderberg scored his 12th goal of the season, making it 1-0 Bruins. Later, Bruins Patrice Bergeron scored his 19th goal of the season, making it 2-0 Bruins. Not long after the Bergeron goal, Montreal's Brandon Prust had a chance to challenge Shawn Thornton but instead he went after rookie Kevan Miller and they dropped the gloves. Prust did good early and Miller came back late. I would call it a draw. After the fight, Thornton had some words for Prust in the penalty box. Late in the period, Bruins Milan Lucic scored his 20th goal of the season, making it 3-0 Bruins.
In the third period, 23 seconds into the period, Bruins captain Zdeno Chara scored his 15th goal of the season, making it 4-0 Bruins. Later, Montreal's David Desharnais scored, making it 4-1.
