• The Bruins improved to 5-1-0 in their last six games following convincing road victories over the Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals. Defenseman Matt Grzelcyk recorded a career-high five-point performance (one goal, four assists) in the 7-3 romp over the Capitals on Monday.

• Perfection Line members David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand each scored twice and Taylor Hall set up a pair of tallies to extend his point streak to six games (two goals, six assists). Hall had a goal and an assist in Boston’s 5-2 home win over Montreal on Nov. 14.

• The Canadiens return to the ice after seeing their five-game homestand postponed by the NHL due to COVID-19 restrictions. As a result, the struggling team begins what amounts to a seven-game road trip on Wednesday. Montreal, which last played on New Year’s Day, has lost 10 of its last 11 games (1-8-2) to make itself comfortable in the cellar of the Eastern Conference.

• Suzuki holds a share of the club lead in both goals (seven) and assists (12). His 19 points are tops on the team. Defenseman Jeff Petry cleared the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol and returned to practice Tuesday.
