If somebody gave you a remote control to rewind to six weeks ago before the beginning of this season, what were your expectations for the Boston Bruins?

In Tanner Jeannot and Mark Kastelic, Minten is riding between two of the brashest Bruins when it comes to gloves-off activity.

Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman loves playing the Canadiens. He's made no secret about that, in case nine wins in 11 starts entering Saturday's head-to-head didn't confirm it for you. But on Saturday, Swayman had to be (and was) Boston's best player on the way to career win No. 10 vs. Montreal.

The Boston Bruins have had a rich history of trading with their division rival Toronto Maple Leafs. Inside this century, they’ve made trades where they’ve ended up on the winning side of things.

Jeremy Swayman stopped 26 shots for his fifth consecutive victory and the Boston Bruins overcame the loss of defenseman Charlie McAvoy to a mouth injury to beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 on Saturday night in a heated game.

They might be in first place, but Marco Sturm's Bruins squad suffered two more injuries in Saturday's win over the Canadiens.

There will be a homecoming on Saturday night as Mascouche, Quebec, native Jonathan Aspirot appears set to sub back into the Boston lineup. The 26-year-old made his NHL debut on Oct. 28 against the Islanders and played six games before sitting out the last two as a healthy scratch.

The Boston Bruins could get some terrible injury news regarding their top defenseman after a gruesome incident on Saturday night.
