FINAL SCORE: Canadiens 5, Bruins 4
IN BRIEF: The Bruins gave up three first-period goals, but they were still able to stay competitive with the Canadiens on Tuesday night. They came from behind three times and at one point, it appeared that they had taken the lead. However, a controversial offsides call on a Charlie Coyle goal erased the lead and the Canadiens answered with the game-winning goal shortly thereafter.
BRUINS RECORD: 11-2-2 (24 points)
