Some streak

Posted by Fluto Shinzawa, Globe Staff October 15, 2008 09:55 AM

The Bruins have not beaten the Canadiens in a regular-season match since March 3, 2007, when they scored a 3-1 win at TD Banknorth Garden. Montreal has won 11 straight regular-season meetings, the Canadiens' longest active winning streak against any team. Boston's last victory at the Bell Centre took place on Dec. 4, 2006 (6-5).

* Georges Laraque (groin), Christopher Higgins (groin), and Francis Bouillon (leg) will not play tonight.

* The Canadiens will kick off their centennial celebration tonight. This is Montreal's home opener.

* Tonight will be Aaron Ward's 700th NHL game.

* Marc Joannette and Bill McCreary will be the referees tonight. Mark Pare and Dan Schachte will be the linesmen.

  1. The B's have all the motivation they neef to win, they just need the focus. I do wish someone other than McCrappy was on the ice.
