Suzuki scored for a third straight game and had an assist, Caufield had a goal and an assist, and Jakub Dobes<\/a> made 26 saves for Montreal (37-20-10), which had lost consecutive games, both at home. Lane Hutson<\/a>\u00a0had two assists.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s what (Caufield) does,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cForty is just a start for him, probably, and he\u2019s an elite goal-scorer in this League and to see him having this much success is a lot of fun for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pavel Zacha<\/a> scored twice to give him seven goals in seven games, and Jeremy Swayman<\/a>\u00a0made 28 saves for Boston (37-23-8), which gave up two one-goal leads after losing 4-3 in overtime at the New Jersey Devils on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an extremely competitive group and it showed tonight,\u201d Swayman said. \u201cWe needed that point, and taking the positives and moving forward, and I think there was a lot tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zacha put the Bruins up 1-0 with a power-play goal at 2:22 of the first period. He backhanded a loose puck over Dobes\u2019 left pad after Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson<\/a> cut off David Pastrnak<\/a>\u2019s attempt to hit Elias Lindholm<\/a>\u00a0with a backdoor pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we stepped in the game really good,\u201d Zacha said. \u201cWe were ready for the game. Having the point is good for us, but I think even the third period we had a good game. It\u2019s just a shame we couldn\u2019t win it in overtime. But I think overall we had a good team effort. \u2018Sway\u2019 was unbelievable, so we just have to learn from the mistakes and keep it moving.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Suzuki scored for a third straight game and had an assist, Caufield had a goal and an assist,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544056,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,2338],"class_list":["post-544055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-montreal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
