PREGAME NOTES
- Montgomery after morning skate: "I mean it's the hard part in the series. Especially when you have two evenly matched teams. It's, you know, who can win to win two in a row, take control of the series and it hasn't happened yet. So it's a tough task."
- The Bruins enter tonight’s game with a 24-12 record in best-of-7 series in which they have entered game 4 with a 2-1 series lead... They have a 21-3 record when entering game 4 when leading a best-of-seven series by a 3-1 margin and they have an18-19 mark when entering game 4 in a best-of-seven series even at 2-2.
- Gm 3, April 24: Boston 4 at Toronto 2 - Brad Marchand (2-1=3 points) and single goals by Trent Frederic and Jake DeBrusk... Marchand’s assist moved him into 3rd on the club’s playoff assist list, his 54th and 55th goals tied him with Cam Neely for most in team history, and his 12th career playoff GWG set a new club record ... Jeremy Swayman took the win in goal ... SOG: Bos 34, Tor 30 ... PP: 2/3 ... PK: 0/5
