Can the Montreal Canadiens Continue Their Winning Streak at Bell Centre Against the Boston Bruins?

As the Montreal Canadiens prepare to host the Boston Bruins at Bell Centre on March 14, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent positive momentum. The Canadiens have shown a commendable performance in their past games, with a notable victory over the Arizona Coyotes and hard-fought overtime losses against formidable opponents like Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.

The Canadiens' resilience was on full display during these matches. Despite facing a shootout in both encounters with Lightning and Panthers, they managed to secure points thanks to an impressive goaltending that boasted save percentages rounding up to 100 percent. This defensive solidity will be crucial when facing off against the Bruins.


Offensively, Montreal has been consistent as well, scoring an average of three goals per game over their last three outings. Their shooting percentage stands firm at around 10 percent, but it was their exceptional 19 percent shooting efficiency that secured them a win against Arizona.

Faceoffs have been somewhat of a challenge for the Canadiens; they've won approximately half of them across these games. Improving this aspect could give them better control over the game's pace and possession—a key factor when going up against a team like Boston.


The upcoming game promises to be an exciting clash as both teams bring their A-game to one of hockey's most storied rivalries. With home-ice advantage and recent trends suggesting that Montreal is finding ways to garner points even in tight situations, anticipation is building among fans who will fill Bell Centre or tune in through ESPN+ or NESN networks for what is expected to be another thrilling chapter in this historic matchup.
