Bergeron, Bruins avoid 3rd straight shutout

AP


BOSTON (AP) - Patrice Bergeron's goal with 52 seconds left in
regulation helped the Bruins avoid a historic third straight
shutout, but Michael Cammalleri scored in the shootout to give the
Montreal Canadiens a 2-1 victory over Boston on Thursday night.

Boston had not scored in 192 minutes, 6 seconds, dating to
Vladimir Sobotka's goal at 7:02 of the third period against
Edmonton on Saturday. The Bruins had not been shut out in three
straight games since Eddie Shore and the 1928-29 squad scored just
once over five games from Feb. 2-14, 1929.

That team went on to earn Boston's first Stanley Cup title.

The Bruins were less than a minute away from matching the
ignominious feat when Bergeron, with goalie Tim Thomas pulled for
an extra attacker, stuffed the rebound of Zdeno Chara's shot past
Carey Price.
