The Boston Bruins beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 at the Bell Centre Saturday night in a game that had some old-school rivalry flare. It also featured a scary injury for Charlie McAvoy.

Viktor Arvidsson scored the winner at 16:51 of the second period as the Boston Bruins hung on for a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in a heated game between the two Original Six rivals Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins roll into town riding a seven-game winning streak, looking every bit the early-season playoff contender no one thought they would be. The season series sits knotted at 1-1-0, setting up tonight as a potentially momentum-shifting showdown with second place in the Atlantic on the line.

The scary incident occurred at 11:01 when Dobson’s one-timer appeared to deflect off Boston forward Mark Kastelic before hitting McAvoy’s mouth area. McAvoy immediately covered his face and dropped to the ice, while a team doctor rushed from the bench to help him.
