Bobby Leiter stepped in to platoon for Leo Boivin who picked up a suspension in the big loss to New York and has a two point game including his first NHL goal of the season. Eddie Johnston did well against an early Montreal surge, stopping sixteen of the seventeen first period shots directed on goal, and stopped over twenty consecutive shots after the Canadiens took a 1-0 lead on the powerplay, but this time the Bruins stood firm on the penalty kill. At the other end of the ice an early goal in each of the second and third periods caught Jacques Plante napping as he lost his seventeenth game of the year after facing less than thirty shots.
