Canadiens shoot for home-and-home sweep of Bruins

Mar 22, 2007 - 2:34 PM Montreal (37-31-6) at Boston (34-33-5) 7:30 pm EDT

BOSTON (Ticker) -- The Montreal Canadiens must be thrilled to see the Boston Bruins again.

The Canadiens aim for a sweep of their home-and-home series with the Bruins when the Northeast Division foes square off Thursday in Boston.

Montreal has 80 points and is tied with Carolina (36-29-8) and Toronto (35-28-10) for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Canadiens have won four of their last five games, including Tuesday's 1-0 victory over the Bruins.

Guillaume Latendresse scored the contest's only goal and fellow rookie Jaroslav Halak made 30 saves for his first career shutout.

Boston has 73 points and is 13th in the Eastern Conference, seven points out of the final playoff spot.

Tim Thomas made 31 saves Tuesday but has just won three of his last 10 starts. He has been sharp against the Canadiens this season, going 3-1-0 with a 2.75 goals-against average.
