BOSTON - The Bruins were riding high as they entered the overtime period on Monday night. David Krejci's power-play goal with Tuukka Rask on the bench for an extra attacker in the final minute of regulation had the B's believing they were poised to cap off a comeback by collecting a second point.
But, with the bounce of a puck, momentum can shift suddenly in overtime.
On the first shift of the extra session, Montreal jumped at their lone chance when Jeff Petry batted home a rebound out of midair to clinch the Habs' 3-2 win over the Bruins at TD Garden in the rivals' final meeting of the regular season.
