The Boston Bruins put a four-game winning streak on the line Thursday when the Montréal Canadiens visit TD Garden for the teams’ first meeting of the season. Puck drop is at 7 p.m. ET.

Boston leads the Atlantic Division with 27 points. Montréal and the Tampa Bay Lightning each have 26. A regulation win would put the Canadiens ahead of Boston.

The Canadiens did not schedule a morning skate and said they would share their lineup closer to game time. The teams meet again on Jan. 6 in Montréal.
