One night after a tough game in Chicago, youth worked in favor of the Bruins. Marco Sturm and Stephane Yelle each scored two goals and the Boston Bruins snapped a 12-game losing streak against the Montreal Canadiens with a 6-1 victory Thursday night.

On a night when most of Boston focused on the NFL game between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets, the Bruins extended their winning streak to five games and won for the eighth time in nine contests. They had gone 0-10-2 against the Canadiens in the previous 12 meetings.

Manny Fernandez made 27 saves and is 4-0-1 in his last five starts. The Bruins are looking good boys and girls and this young team is earning respect the old-fashioned way.
