BOS@MTL: Game recap

MONTREAL – Special teams told the story on Saturday night, as the Canadiens went 0-for-7 on the power play in a 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins at the Bell Centre.

Ironically, it was Montreal’s penalty kill that provided the offense, with Jake Evans scoring the team’s opening goal. Cole Caufield netted his 13^th of the season later in the game, but that was the extent of the Habs offense.

The Canadiens have lost three straight and five of their last six games.
