    MONTREAL (Ticker) -- Success in the faceoff circle helped theMontreal Canadiens to post a second consecutive win on home iceas they handed the hot Boston Bruins a 6-1 loss Monday night.

    Alex Kovalev tallied a goal and an assist and Bryan Smolinskinotched an assist in his 1,000th career game for the Canadiens,who snapped Boston's winning streak at four games.

    Montreal centers won draws in the first and second period to setthe table for the team's first two tallies of the night.

    Captain Saku Koivu pulled the puck back toward blue-liner MikeKomisarek, who stepped into the puck and drove his shot intoBruin goalie Manny Fernandez. Chris Higgins pounced on therebound at the top of the crease and buried the return insidethe left post for a 1-0 advantage at the 12:14 mark.

    In the second period, second-year center Tomas Plekaneccontrolled a draw in the left faceoff to Kovalev, who one-timedit from just outside the faceoff circle. The bang-bang playgave Montreal a 2-0 advantage 6:28 into the period.

    Steve Begin made it a three-goal cushion with his first tally ofthe year with 2:12 remaining in the middle session. DefensemanTom Kostopoulos rushed the puck from the Canadiens' zone andpassed to Begin, who knocked the puck home at the left post.

    Boston had several quality chances but were continuallyfrustrated by the acrobatics of Montreal netminder CristobalHuet, who turned aside 31 of 32 shots.


    The Bruins had a golden opportunity in the first to open thescoring when a Montreal turnover produced a 2-on-1 for break.Glen Metropolit gathered in the loose puck and raced down theleft side with Glen Murray following along the left boards.

    Metropolit elected to shoot, snapping off a crisp wrist shootfrom 30 feet out, and Huet deflected the puck right to theonrushing Murray. The veteran right wing's quick release wassmothered by a diving Huet, snuffing out that chance.

    With the Bruins on the power play in the second period, Huetshut the door not once but twice in succession on rookie DavidKrejci.


    After Montreal made it 4-0 on Patrice Brisebois' power playwrister from the left point, Boston finally got on the board6:41 into the third period.


    Canadiens defenseman Mark Streit was called for a holdingpenalty and Bruins defenseman Dennis Wideman took advantage,knocking a power-play wrister from the point past Huet to cutthe deficit to 4-1.


    But Montreal was not finished. Veteran center Smolinski, whowas playing in his 1,000th career NHL contest, took advantage ofa delayed penalty by starting a 2-on-1 break with rookieMikhail Grabovski.


    As he had done 361 times previously in his career, Smolinski setup his teammate and Grabovski put a wrister past Fernandez forhis first career goal 9:34 into the third.


    The Canadiens added another tally three minutes later on thepower play, with Andrei Markov converting an unassisted chancefor his third goal of the young season.


    Fernandez made just 14 saves on 20 shots.
