Fraser scores in OT as Bruins beat Canadiens 1-0 to tie playoff series at two
MONTREAL – Matt Fraser scored in overtime as the Boston Bruins shut out the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 to tie their playoff series at two.
Fraser got a stick on a rebound just 1:19 into OT after Montreal goaltender Carey Price lost the puck in front of the net.
The series now returns to Boston for Game 5 on Saturday.
Price and Tuukka Rask were each game for a goaltending duel. Price finished with 34 saves for Montreal while Rask stopped 33 for Boston.
Neither team blinked in regulation, with a tight-checking first period followed by an uneventful second.
Montreal went on the attack in the third, outshooting the Bruins 14-7, but the Canadiens couldn’t solve Rask.
