A March game between the Bruins and Canadiens with playoff implications. Just like old times. Both teams are looking to get it right in this important matchup. Boston has really struggled on the road. The Bruins just lost to the Devils, 4-3, as a short road underdog yesterday. Jeremy Swayman should be back in net for Boston after Joonas Korpisalo was the goalie against New Jersey. The Bruins have surrendered only nine goals during the past five games Swayman has been in goal. This will be the Bruins' seventh game in 11 days. So they do not figure to be pushing a fast tempo carrying such a high fatigue rating. Montreal is in bounce-back mode, too, having lost consecutive games - both at home - to the Ducks and Sharks during this past weekend. The Canadiens have failed to reach four goals in each of their last four games. Take the UNDER.
