Canadiens at Bruins, Jan. 1, 2016
Six years after playing the Flyers at Fenway Park, the Bruins traveled South to Foxborough, Massachusetts to play their hated rivals, the Montreal Candiens at Gillette Stadium. At the home of the New England Patriots and New England Revolution, 67,246 fans worked their way inside Gillette to witness the most lopsided loss of the Winter Classics.
Of course for Boston, it comes at the hands of the Habs. Montreal got two goals from Paul Byron and one each from David Desharnais, Brendan Gallagher, and Max Pacioretty. Matt Beleskey scored the Boston goal. Montreal goalie Mike Condon made 27 saves, while Tuukka Rask made 25 saves for the Bruins.
In what has become customary at the end of every NFL season, the Patriots would play their final two games, Week 16 and 17, at home. That year, the Pats played their final two regular-season games on the road so the Bruins could use the Stadium for the game.
It turned out to be a game that the Bruins would like to forget.
