Tonight will be the toughest game of the week for Montreal (9-2-2). Montreal is currently enjoying a regular season 12 game winning streak against the Bruins which goes back to the 2006-07 season. However, Boston has made huge steps of improvement every season. Under the management of former Habs coach Claude Julien, Boston is 9-3-3 and leading the Northeast Division. Montreal won the last meeting 3-2 in a SO which was not a convincing win. The game could have easily gone Boston's way.
Thomas has been exceptional for Boston, having let in only 7 goals in his last 6 and a stellar 1.76 GAA on the season. Higgins, coming off a hat-trick performance on Tuesday, will look to keep the momentum going tonight. Many are saying that his season will now kick in to gear. Look for him to contribute tonight. Also, look for Boston's Shawn Thornton to be his idiotic self, and most likely be looking for trouble. Hopefully he bumps into Laraque along the way.
As they say, good things must always come to an end, just hopefully not tonight.
