The defeat marked the second overtime loss for the Boston Bruins, sending shockwaves through the passionate fan base that had witnessed an impressive 11-1-2 start to the season. The night began on a high note, with Pavel Zacha finding the net just 36 seconds into the game, deflecting a point shot from Charlie McAvoy past Montreal's Samuel Montambeault.
However, Montreal responded swiftly, with Nick Suzuki and Brendan Gallagher notching goals to swing the momentum in their favor. The Canadiens' relentless attack saw them grab the lead early in the third period, leaving Bruins fans on the edge of their seats.
The third period unfolded as a whirlwind of action, with both teams showcasing offensive prowess. Boston thought they had equalized when Oskar Steen deflected a shot, only to have the goal reversed due to goaltender interference. A missed opportunity during a lengthy five-on-three power play added to the frustration.
Despite the setbacks, the Bruins managed to level the score on the man advantage, with Brad Marchand capitalizing on a loose puck at the back post. With the game deadlocked after 60 minutes, anticipation built as the contest headed into overtime.
As the Bruins faithful held their breath, the dramatic climax unfolded in favor of the Canadiens, with Kaiden Guhle's overtime heroics securing the win.
