Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET, the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens faceoff live from the Bell Centre in Montreal for Game 6 of their Round 2 best-of-seven series as part of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The game can be live streamed for free here. Boston fans can hear all of the action on 98.5 The Sports Hub while Montreal fans can do the same on TSN 690.
Boston looks to put this series away by notching its third straight win while Montreal looks to bounce back from two consecutive losses and win a game on home ice to force a Game 7 back in Boston. The Bruins took Games 2, 4 and 5 while the Canadiens earned wins in Games 1 and 3.
The Bruins are one win away from getting to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive season, but with the team losing three Game 6's on the road in the last four years, it isn't looking ahead that far yet.
"It's just like losing, you know, you want to park it as quick as you can and focus on that next game. And you always know that the fourth win in a series is the toughest one to get," Bruins forward Milan Lucic said via NHL.com.
Lucic is tied for second on the team this postseason with seven points off of four goals and three assists while Dougie Hamilton also has seven points off of two tallies and five helpers. Patrice Bergeron (three goals, six assists) and Torey Krug (two markers, seven helpers) are tied for the team lead in the playoffs with nine points apiece.
After a disappointing Game 5, the Canadiens look to play desperate hockey and put together a win on home ice.
"Well, you back any animal into a corner, it's going to be desperate," goaltender Carey Price told NHL.com. "I think we're going to be a desperate hockey club coming into the next game and I think we're excited for the challenge."
Price is 6-3 this postseason with a 2.49 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage. He'll be opposed by Tuukka Rask, who has allowed just two goals in the last two games and is 7-3 while leading the playoffs with a 1.70 GAA and a .940 save percentage.
P.K. Subban has six points in the series and paces Montreal with 12 playoff points off of four goals and eight assists while Lars Eller has found the back of the net three times and added five helpers for eight points and Brendan Gallagher (four goals, three assists) and Tomas Plekanec (three tallies, four helpers) each have seven points.
The Bruins try to advance to the next round while the Canadiens hope to force a Game 7 when these two teams hit the ice for Game 6 tonight live from the Bell Centre in Montreal.
