As if the season record wasn’t enough, in their final meeting of the season, Montreal’s Steve Begin took out the Bruins’ top scorer Marc Savard with a cross check, forcing Savard to miss the remainder of the regular season. Key for Boston: They key for the Bruins will be the health of Marc Savard. Savard leads the Bruins against Montreal this season, scoring nine points in eight games. At the moment it looks like Savard will be able to play, which will give the Bruins a shot against the Canadiens.Key for Montreal: The Canadiens have several key players, such as Alexei Kovalev and rookie goalie Carey Price, but the player who has given Boston the most trouble is Andrei Kostitsyn.
