Montreal at Boston 7:30 PM ET
Familiar foes will renew acquaintances on Thursday as the Montreal Canadiens visit the Boston Bruins for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference second-round series. The Original Six rivals set up their 34th meeting in postseason history after Montreal swept Tampa Bay in the first round and Boston dispatched Detroit in five games. The Canadiens own a 24-9 series mark versus the Bruins, but the latter has won seven of the last 11 sets - including a seven-game classic in 2011.
