Need to Know: Bruins at Canadiens (NHL.com)

MONTREAL - The B's arrive in Montreal on Sunday night to take on the Habs for the final time this season and aim for their second win of the weekend.

"My mom was a big Habs fan and when I would see them on TV, they did a lot of winning," said Cassidy. "It looked like the opposition even enjoyed his game. And it's something that people will remember," said Bergeron. "I think it's obviously the glory and the way that he's played the game, but beyond that I think the human being that he was is what people will remember." The Bruins paid tribute to Lafleur before Saturday's game against the Rangers with a moment of silence and short videot montage for their longtime rival. If Nosek gets the call to skate with Taylor Hall and Erik Haula, McLaughlin will be on the fourth line with Curtis Lazar and Nick Foligno. The B's lineup will look a little different than Saturday afternoon at TD Garden, with Hampus Lindholm and David Pastrnak, both of whom looked great in the B's 3-1 win vs. Here's everything you need to know ahead of the 7 p.m. ET puck drop on NESN and 98.5 The Sports Hub:

RDS Direct : un hommage à la hauteur de Guy Lafleur (RDS)

Le Canadien est de retour à Montréal pour disputer un premier match à domicile depuis le décès de son légendaire ambassadeur Guy Lafleur, 48 heures plus tôt.

Mais Erik Haula a pu s’élancer et il a marqué après le moment gênant d’avoir « oublié » la rondelle en s’élançant. « On gère le tout au quotidien. Ensuite, Jake Evans a exprimé son mécontentement aux officiels quand il a été malmené par un opposant. Guy est une légende et c’était merveilleux de faire partie de cet hommage et de la longue ovation. On va laisser ça comme ça », a répondu Mathieu Perreault. Je ne connaissais pas le règlement disant qu’il fallait qu’il frôle la rondelle pour ne pas que ça compte. Josh Anderson, qui semblait être l’un des joueurs les plus inspirés par l’hommage, a marqué le premier but de sa troupe. « Je ne comprenais pas trop ce qui se passait. « Évidemment, on a pu voir ce qu’il signifie pour cette ville. C’est le fun d’avoir les légendes derrière le banc. Résultat, les puissants Bruins de Boston l’ont emporté 5 à 3 au Centre Bell. Une autre défaite du Canadien après l'hommage à Guy LafleurCanadiens dimanche, 24 avr.

Canadien c. Bruins: hommage émouvant pour une idole (Le Journal de Montréal)

Les partisans réunis au Centre Bell pour le match aujourd'hui ont fait une longue et vibrante ovation pour Guy Lafleur.

J’ai tellement de bons souvenirs grâce à lui », a-t-il affirmé, en exhibant fièrement son chandail écrit « Lafleur » au dos, autographié par la légende de la Sainte-Flanelle. « Je ne suis pas ici pour la game, je suis vraiment ici pour Guy, c’était celui qui était le plus proche de nous, du peuple, a lancé avec aplomb Louis Ménard, 59 ans. J’avais pas le choix d’être là pour lui dire merci, c’est comme boucler la boucle.

Game 79: Boston Bruins @ Montreal Canadiens Lines, Betting ... (Boston Hockey Now)

Fittingly so, the Boston Bruins will play their longtime rivals, the Montreal Canadiens tonight when the Habs honor the late Guy Lafleur.

Since the Canadiens hired Martin St. Louis on Feb. 9, Caufield has 19 goals and 13 assists in 34 games. One thing is certain, the Montreal Canadiens are going to be revved up to start this game after they honor Lafleur and will throw everything but the kitchen sink at the Bruins. Also, the Bruins will be missing Pastrnak and Lindholm again and will likely go back to a conservative approach. To his credit though, the team in front of him has been atrocious. This is going to be all about emotions and how each team channels them. The Montreal Canadiens come into the game riding an eight-game losing streak and have been outscored 34-14 during their latest skid. Jeremy Swayman will be back between the pipes tonight for the Boston Bruins. Swayman was brilliant in his first ever game at the Bell Centre on March 21, allowing two goals on 28 shots in a 3-2 overtime win for the Boston Bruins. Swayman is 22-13-3 with a 2.35 GAA and .916 save percentage.

Canadiens honour legend Guy Lafleur with pre-game ceremony ... (CBC.ca)

The Montreal Canadiens paid tribute to Guy Lafleur, who died Friday at 70, with a ceremony before a game against Boston on Sunday.

"The two of us skated together on the ice, just me and Guy, it was unbelievable. Some stars, they put themselves on another level, kind of on a pedestal, not Guy, he never looked down on me," Nilan said. "You don't forget a guy like Guy, I'm talking about the man," Cournoyer said, describing Lafleur as someone who deserved his popularity. Finally, he asked the fans to be quiet for a moment of silence in honour of Lafleur. Patrice Bergeron broke the ice for Boston (49-25-5) by tapping in a loose puck in an open net. Patrice Bergeron picked up two goals, including the empty-netter, and one assist.
