BOSTON -- Montreal coach Michel Therrien wanted to continue his teams drive to the playoffs more than to snap Bostons 12-game winning streak. The Canadiens accomplished both. Alex Galchenyuk scored the only shootout goal, and the Canadiens got their fifth win in six games, 2-1 over the Bruins on Monday night. "Its not about their streak," Therrien said. "Its more about getting those two points and trying to qualify for the playoffs." Montreal tied Tampa Bay for the third-most points in the Eastern Conference, but has played one more game. The Bruins fell one game short of their longest winning streak since 1970-71 and two shy of the club record set in 1929-30. But their one point from the shootout loss moved them ahead of Western Conference-leading St. Louis for the most in the NHL with 104. "You cant win 12 in a row and lose one in a shootout and say, Im really disappointed in my team, " Boston coach Claude Julien said. Boston was uncharacteristically undisciplined for the two periods then tied it at 1 with just two seconds left on its sixth power play of the game. Dougie Hamiltons slap shot from the centre of the blue line deflected off Patrice Bergeron and past goalie Peter Budaj with 5:26 left in the third period. It was Bergerons 23rd goal of the season. Budaj also stopped a four-game Bruins winning streak with a 4-1 victory in Boston on Jan. 30. "We are very confident with him back there," Montreal forward Brian Gionta said. "That first period he made some huge saves and even in the second he made some big saves where they could have been back in the game real quick." Bostons last loss came March 1, 4-2 to Washington. Montreal grabbed the lead on Alexei Emelins third goal of the season at 6:39 of the first. Emelins shot from the blue line deflected off Bruins forward Chris Kelly about 30 feet from the net and rose over the glove of goalie Tuukka Rask. In the shootout, Bergeron, Jarome Iginla, Brad Marchand and David Krejci missed for Boston while Thomas Vanek, David Desharnais and Daniel Briere failed for Montreal. Then Galchenyuk went in close to put the puck between Rasks stick and the post to the right of the goaltender. "I was excited and all the moves were playing in my head," Galchenyuk said. "They were on a roll and we are happy that were the team that ended that roll." The Bruins had three power plays in the first 11 minutes of the third period but were outshot 5-1 as the Canadiens picked off errant passes and cleared the puck from their zone. "Hopefully, next time when we get that many (power-play) opportunities well get more than one (goal)," Bruins forward Milan Lucic said. The Canadiens won despite losing two forwards, Dale Weise and Travis Moen, early in the first period. Bruins defenceman Kevan Miller sent Weise sprawling into the boards 4:50 into the game then fought with Moen, who challenged him after the hit. "I felt bad about it. I just kind of bumped into (Weise)," Miller said. "I stood there just trying to make sure he was OK for a second and Moen asked if I wanted to (fight)." Montreal had an excellent opportunity with a two-man advantage for 44 seconds late in the second period when Johnny Boychuk was called for roughing P.K. Subban and joined Iginla in the penalty box. The Canadiens took four shots on goal before Iginlas penalty ended and none during the rest of the power play. Budaj came up with a big glove save when he stopped Zdeno Charas slap shot from the blue line with 5 seconds left in the second period.

The rookie kicker has done his part in that department this season, connecting on 22 of his 24 field-goal attempts and having both misses hit the uprights. Watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5 and TSN GO at 4pm et/1pm pt. His rhythm, though, could be affected in Sundays 11th Banjo Bowl as the Bombers (6-4) have a number of injuries forcing roster changes, including the long-snapper wholl send the ball back to Hajrullahu. Linebacker Ian Wild, who does the long-snapping duties, was injured in Saskatchewans 35-30 Labour Day Classic victory over Winnipeg last weekend and will sit out Sundays sold-out game at Investors Group Field. Hajrullahu said fullbacks Carl Fitzgerald and Michel-Pierre Pontbriand have been zinging the balls back to him close to 100 times in practice this week and hes confident either one can do the job. "Halfway through the season, to have a new snapper is something different, but these guys are professional and I expect them to be just as good on the field," the Western University product said after Fridays practice. And if a few snaps arent perfect, hell deal with them. "If some snaps are different, we always prepare with the drills that if it is a bad snap, what do you do and stuff like that," said Hajrullahu, whos had to do all the kicking the past six games after a hamstring injury to punter Mike Renaud. "I cant have any doubt in my kicks so Im just going to prepare like its any other game." The defending Grey Cup champion Riders (7-2) have won six in a row and are aiming to sweep the season series with the Bombers. The teams have each won five Banjo Bowl games. Winnipeg committed six turnovers that gave the Riders 20 points in their 23-17 victory in Winnipeg on Aug. 7, and then saw the Riders score the winning touchdown last Sunday with 28 seconds left in the game. Bombers head coach Mike OShea isnt satisfied that his team has played Saskatchewan close in this years two clashes. "I want to get these guys. Our players do, too," OShea said. "And we recognize from our film that we cant make the mistakes we made." OShea wouldnt reveal wholl be doing the long-snapping, but its expected Fitzgerald will get the nod as he went into the game last week and had experience at the position for the Saint Marys Huskies. Backup quarterback Brian Brohm remains the holder. "I got thrown in last week and I had to do all the field-goal snaps and I was a little nervous on the first one, but once you do it its just like riding a bike -- you just get back on it and its all right," Fitzgerald said.dddddddddddd Winnipeg quarterback Drew Willy injured an ankle in last weeks loss, but he continued playing and has been practising all week and is good to go. The same cant be said for Winnipeg receiver Nick Moore, who injured an ankle and will be replaced by Romby Bryant. Defensive end Kashawn Fraser hurt a knee against the Riders and Jason Vega will take his spot. Saskatchewan is also dealing with injuries in its kicking unit. Punter Josh Bartel (hamstring) and long-snapper Levi Steinhauer (shoulder) will miss Sundays game after injuries in last weekends match. Placekicker Chris Milo will do the field-goal kicking and punting and linebacker Brian Peters is expected to be the long-snapper. Former Bombers placekicker Justin Palardy may come off the practice roster to do kickoffs. Saskatchewan slotback Chris Getzlaf didnt practise Friday because of an undisclosed injury and head coach Corey Chamblin told reporters afterward that he may not suit up, but should be good in the next week or so. "He didnt go today and he was very limited yesterday so theres a good chance he may not play and we have to be prepared for that." Rookie receiver Alex Pierzchalski will fill in and "he has to step up" with his opportunity, Chamblin said. Although the Riders were victorious in their first two games against their arch-rivals, Chamblin said making it three straight isnt easy. "Its always tough. Its tough to beat em one," he said. "But to beat em three, youve just got to know that youre not doing it all at one time, but its one game at a time." Bryant is looking to make good on his next opportunity with the Bombers. Hes played five games this season and has 11 catches for 94 yards and no touchdowns. Bryant watched the game on TV last week and thinks he and his teammates can pick up some tips on how to handle Saskatchewans "solid" defence. "Playing them back-to-back, they probably dont have much time to change stuff up," Bryant said. "You can see tips. It gives everybody tips, even the people that did play last week. Its giving them tips on how they play us and what coverages they do and certain schemes that they got going." Hajrullahu is just hoping the re-jigged kicking unit wont miss a beat. "Every point is going to count," Hajrullahu said. "Theyve beaten us twice and this team really hates losing and we hope to come out on top on Sunday and weve been preparing like we will." ' ' '
