For the Boston Bruins, a shootout loss was an improvement over a shutout loss. Patrice Bergeron's goal with 52 seconds left in regulation helped the Bruins avoid a historic third straight shutout, but Michael Cammalleri scored in the shootout to give the Montreal Canadiens a 2-1 victory over Boston on Thursday night. "We scored," Bruins forward Blake Wheeler said. "Obviously, that's a positive we can take out of the game." Boston had not scored in 192 minutes, 6 seconds, dating to Vladimir Sobotka's goal at 7:02 of the third period against Edmonton on Saturday.

PLAYER NEWS

Canadiens Georges Laraque (MTL - RW) News: According to the Montreal Gazette, Georges Laraque will have a hearing with NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell regarding his hit on Niklas Kronwall. [+] Impact: Laraque nailed Kronwall in Saturday's game with a knee-on-knee collision, and the Red Wing defenseman will be lost for a month as a result. Laraque will likely be suspended for the vicious and dangerous hit. (Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) Georges Laraque (MTL - Right Wing) News: Laraque will have a hearing with NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell on Monday to discuss his knee-on-knee hit with Niklas Kronwall, Habs Insideout reports. [+] Impact: Laraque will most likely miss some time due to a suspension. Red Wings coach Mike Babcock and general manager Ken Holland were very upset with the hit after Saturday's game, while Kronwall is expected to miss between four and eight weeks with a sprained MCL. You may want to avoid Laraque until more is known about his suspension. If your lineup is in need of some penalty minutes see if Daniel Carcillo or Chris Neil is still available. (RotoWire - Nov 22, 2009) Scott Gomez (MTL - Center) News: The Canadiens lost Gomez to a lower-body injury in Friday's victory over Washington. [+] Impact: There is no timetable for Gomez's return. (STATS - Sun. Nov 22, 2009)

Bruins Marc Savard (BOS - Center) News: Savard (foot), who is expected to return to the Bruins' lineup Monday night in St. Louis, was centering a line with Marco Sturm and Byron Bitz at Sunday's practice, the Boston Globe reports. [+] Impact: We'll have to see if this combo sticks, but more importantly, it looks like Savard owners will get their playmaking center back Monday. (RotoWire - Nov 22, 2009) Trent Whitfield (BOS - C) News: The Boston Globe reports that Trent Whitfield has cleared waivers and will report to Providence of the AHL. [+] Impact: The Bruins waived Whitfield on Friday, but no other team felt he was worth taking a chance on. He should see regular playing time in the AHL and could be recalled at some point if the Bruins need depth due to injury. (Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) Tuukka Rask (BOS - Goaltender) News: Making his third straight start, Rask stopped 25 of 26 shots in Boston's 2-1 overtime win over Buffalo on Friday night. [+] Impact: Bruins starter Tim Thomas has been dealing with an injury and the young Rask has been making the most of his opportunity. He's now 5-2-1 with a 2.31 GAA this season. (STATS - Sat. Nov 21, 2009)
