Liveblog: Boston 2 – Canadiens 0 after two

A scoreless second period sets up a (hopefully) interesting third.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi’s brutal turnover became the game’s first goal. In alone, David Backes beat Carey Price short side.
Then with the teams playing 4-on-4, Jake DeBrusk eluded Brett Kulak to make it 2-0.
Shots through 40 are 25-21 Boston.
