Bruins Notes: Boston's Fourth Line Came Up 'Huge' In Win Vs. Canadiens

The Bruins needed to have a better effort in their home opener against the Montreal Canadiens after dropping their first game of the 2024-25 season. The Black and Gold scored four straight goals and staved off a third period push to defeat their Original Six rivals 6-4 on Thursday night. “I thought we won a lot more battles, all three zones and play it faster,” Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery said of the team's effort. Boston got an offensive boost from its fourth line of Johnny Beecher, Mark Kastelic and Cole Koepke.
