BOSTON -- Boston coach Claude Julien said the Bruins had more in their tank and they showed it Saturday night. The Bruins got their power play going and got under the Canadiens skin as they won 4-2 to push Montreal to the edge of a playoff precipice. Boston was crisp from the get-go and scored power-play goals 32 seconds apart early in the second period to build an insurmountable 3-0 lead. "I dont think you can look at tonight and say all of a sudden we found our game." said Julien. "I think we were better tonight but theres another game to win and, Im being honest here, its not going to be easy." Game 6 of the second-round playoff series is Monday in Montreal with the Canadiens needing a win to remain alive -- undoubtedly regretting the Game 4 overtime loss at the Bell Centre that rejuvenated the Bruins. Montreal, which outshot Boston 31-30, has trailed Boston three games to two five times before and come back to win three of those series. After a five-year post-season drought with the man advantage against the Habs, Boston broke the power-play hoodoo through back-to-back strikes by Reilly Smith and Jarome Iginla. Tomas Plekanec was in the penalty box for both goals. "I thought we were intent when we started the game but their power play gave them a lot of momentum and confidence," said Montreal coach Michel Therrien. Boston was 0-for-10 in the series on the power play and amazingly had not scored in 39 tries with the man advantage against Montreal in the post-season since Game 2 of their 2009 Conference quarter-final. "Our power play was due," Julien said by way of understatement. After the first period, the talk was of the need for more intensity, winning more battles and making stronger plays on the power play. It worked and Boston had the rare luxury of playing with a lead. The Bruins led for 46 minutes 40 seconds Saturday, some four times the 11:39 they were ahead during the first four games of the series. The Canadiens have held the lead for 106:11 of the series. Carl Soderberg and Loui Eriksson also scored for the Bruins, who got a strong physical game from Milan Lucic. The hulking winger cruised the ice like a shark, looking for someone to take a piece out of. A late P.K. Subban goal made the score closer than the game actually was. Brendan Gallagher also scored for Montreal. Goalie Carey Price said the Habs are up for the elimination challenge. "You back any animal into a corner, its going to be desperate," he said calmly. "I think were going to be a desperate hockey club coming into next game and I think were excited for the challenge." Game 7, if needed, would be next Wednesday in Boston. The Canadiens will need to take a deep breath before the puck drops at the Bell Centre with their season on the line. "Frustration or not, weve got to make sure we play with some more composure," said a tight-lipped Therrien. Subban complained after the game of being sprayed with water twice from the Boston bench late in the game. After raising the issue in his post-game scrum, he tried to downplayed the antics but it clearly bothered him. "It hit me in the visor. I couldnt even see the last minute and a half out there," he said. "So I was pretty upset about that ... Im sure if that was me that did it, it would be a different story. Id probably be on the news for the next three days." Therrien, who looked like he had sucked a lemon prior to taking the podium, had little to say about hockeys version of Watergate. "Yeah, we saw that," he said when asked about the water spraying. "I dont want to comment on that," he added when pressed on the matter. Julien said he didnt see it and wouldnt condone it. After two games that features a total of five penalties, the referees remembered to bring their whistles with them Saturday and called 11 penalties. Montreal was 2-for-5 on the night with the man-advantage but was 0-for-3 in the first period. "I strongly believe that if we would have gotten a goal on one of those first power plays, it could have been the difference in the game," said Subban. Therrien, meanwhile, said his team had to be better five-on-five. The line of Soderberg, Eriksson and Matt Fraser finished with two goals and three assist and was plus-six. The Bruins third line has now scored three of Bostons last five goals with Fraser accounting for the overtime winner last Thursday in Montreal. Soderberg was awarded the Bruins jacket, a hand-me-down from Boston legend Johnny Bucyk, as the teams player of the game. The capacity crowd of 17,565 at TD Garden had plenty to cheer about. Boston looked focused and physical, outhitting Montreal 39-29. Plus the Bruins managed to plug up Montreals shooting lanes. "It was one of those games where were just on the wrong side of the puck all night," said Canadiens captain Brian Gionta. Smith hit the post before either team registered a shot. The Bruins went ahead at 13:20 of the first period after Eriksson beat the lumbering Douglas Murray to the puck behind the net and sent it straight back to Soderberg, who banged the puck in off Prices pad for his first career playoff goal. It came on Bostons sixth shot of the night. It was a good omen for the Bruins, given the team scoring first won the first four games of the series and the Bruins were 5-0 in the playoffs -- and 41-6-2 during the regular season -- with the first goal. Then came the power play breakthrough as the Bruins dominated the second period. After some good puck movement had the Canadiens running around, a Dougie Hamilton shot from the point deflected in off Smiths foot. Then, after a Bruins faceoff win, a nifty Torey Krug pass from the wall found Iginla all alone and he snapped a shot past Price. Boston was bossing the game and the Habs began to lose some of their composure. But Plekanec made up for some of that time in the penalty box when he snapped a shot from the faceoff dot that went through a Boston defencemans legs before rattling in off Gallagher at 14:39 on the power play to cut the lead to 3-1. The five-foot-nine Gallagher got thumped in the corner seconds before on the play, but picked himself up and got in front of the goal to be in position to tip the puck in. The goal ended Tuukka Rasks shutout streak of 122 minutes six seconds. The Bruins kept up the pressure in the third, coming at the Canadiens. Boston calmly blunted Montreal attacks and then moved the puck up ice with speed and purpose. Erikssons goal, with 5:48 remaining, came on a three-on-two complete with some slick passing. Price denied Fraser but was powerless to stop Eriksson, who skated around him until he had a clear shot at an empty net. With Matt Bartkowski off for holding and Price on the bench, Subban scored from the point to make it 4-2 with 2:29 remaining. Therrien brought back Brandon Prust, who had sat out the last two games. Making way was veteran Daniel Briere who had played under 10 minutes each of the last three contests. Oliver Drake Rays Jersey .

Pick your VI Which Elite Player makes your line-up? Pick your team for the chance to win the £5k jackpot. Heres who the Soccer Saturday pundits are selecting...Merses teamWayne Rooney (Elite Player)Hes playing a bit deeper now so he will see a lot of the ball. Hell touch the ball near enough a 100 times. He was outstanding against Russia, and I can see him being as influential against Wales.Chris SmallingAlthough he may not score bundles, Smalling is always liable to get a goal from a set-piece. Wales are not the biggest team in the world, so set plays could be a fruitful area for England if they get Harry Kane off the free-kicks and corners. And Smalling could be the one to profit.Ashley WilliamsTherell be plenty for Williams to do at the back and hes usually a threat when he goes up for the set pieces. If Wales do score, it could well be the Swansea defender who gets it. When he goes up for the corners and the free-kicks, he really gives his all to get on the end of a cross and score. Hes not one to just go up because the manager has told him to, and thats why hes a good bet to score.Eric Dier Eric Dier scored a surprise free-kick against Russia He did everything that was asked of him playing in the holding role. He reads the game very well and with the ball, he gets it and gives it simple, which every team needs. Again, I see England having a lot of the football.Raheem SterlingThe Manchester City winger had the worst game I think Ive seen anyone ever have against Russia. He had an absolute shocker and did exceptionally well to stay on for 80 minutes. However, I think the Wales game will be perfect for him. Despite being so poor against Russia, hes got to play for me and havee a right go at Chris Gunter.dddddddddddd If England can get the ball out to Sterling early, I think he can cause Wales and Gunter major problems.Dele AlliThe pressure is on England in this game. Wales can sit back because a point will almost certainly see them through. However, I cant see anything but an England win. If they can get an early goal, it could be by three or four, and I expect Alli to have a major impact on the game. Thommos teamWayne Rooney Wayne Rooney: Backed by both pundits to deliver for Roy Hodgson If one player will relish a local derby, it will be captain Wayne Rooney. He silenced a lot of doubters with his midfield display against Russia and while he may not score as much from a deeper role, hes now guaranteed to rack up points from completing passes and creating chances, while I suspect hell be on penalties.Kyle WalkerEnglands lack of a natural right-winger means Walker is getting forward at every opportunity, seeing lots of the ball, and was one of the star performers on Saturday.Eric Dier Hes provides everything you could ask for when you look at the points breakdown, making tackles, interceptions, passes, winning headers and chipping in with goals.Chris Smalling Im backing England to win 2-0 in my Sky Bet tip, so Ive got to have a couple of Hodgsons defenders in there, while hes also a goal threat from set-pieces.Ashley Williams Captain Ashley Williams vital to Wales chances, says Thommo If Wales are going to get anything from this game, then Williams will be as important as anybody and will have to win a lot of headers, tackles and interceptions. Hes the leader on the pitch and he will also look to get on the ball a lot.Joe Allen Hes a player I really rate and hope he gets a new contract from Liverpool. Even if Wales are on the losing side, hell be completing passes all afternoon and is key to them getting enough of the ball to Bale. Play Fantasy Six-a-Side Think you can pick a better side?
