The Canadiens were in Boston on Sunday afternoon, facing the Bruins in the second leg of back-to-back games for Martin St-Louis’ troops. To make matters more difficult, the Canadiens had to travel following their frustrating 4-3 loss to the New York Rangers.

The Montreal Canadiens failed to spoil the Boston Bruins’ centennial celebration, falling 6-3 to the home team on Sunday afternoon at TD Garden. Cole Caufield scored twice in the losing effort. Nick Suzuki had two assists.

Caufield grew up a fan of Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane and at the time considered him to be the best United States-born player. Now in his fifth NHL season with Montreal, which selected him in the first round (No. 15) in the 2019 NHL Draft, he was asked who he considers the best American-born player in the game today.
