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.
