Bruins fans breathe a sigh of relief as Boston wins their first playoff game away from home. Although they still trail in the series 1-2, there is hope. Chara returned to the lineup today after recovering from a nasty flu which led to severe dehydration. Chara got one assist tonight and played for over 26 minutes. Tim Thomas was also on top of his game making 34 saves out of 36 shots and preventing the Canadiens from making a close comeback. Carey Price on the other hand only had 21 saves on the night, letting in 3 goals (and an empty-netter) and giving up the winning goal by passing the puck to Boston Bruins Rich Peverly who scored his first ever career goal on the wide open net. The three star selections of the night (in order from first to third) were Patrice Bergeron, Andrei Kostitsyn, and Michael Cammaleri.
