Boston Bruins vs. Montreal Canadiens WATCH FREE NHL PLAYOFFS Live Streaming from Bell Centre at 7:30 PM ET

The Bruins have two chances to finish off the archrival Canadiens. They are only thinking about the first one.

"It's going to be awesome," Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller said, looking ahead to Game 6 in Montreal on Monday night. "This is the biggest game -the hardest one to win. So, we need to be ready."

The Bruins won 4-2 in Game 5 on Saturday night to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series and send the Canadiens to the brink of elimination. Game 6 is Monday at the raucous Bell Centre, with Game 7 back in Boston on Wednesday night, if necessary.

The Canadiens were in the same position in the first round against Boston in 2011, winning Game 6 at home before losing the seventh game in overtime. The Bruins went on to win the Stanley Cup.

Bruins forward Shawn Thornton was caught by the TV cameras in the final minute spraying water from the bench at Subban, who had the puck. Thornton was fined $2,820.52 by the league on Sunday -- the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement.

Bruins coach Claude Julien said he did not approve of Thornton's behavior and let him know. Thornton said he got caught up in the moment.

Subban also said he would like to move on.

"I don't need you guys to make it a big deal out of it," he told reporters after the game. "It is one of those irritating things when you're down 4-2. Listen, they beat us. That's not the reason why we lost. It's just one of those things that frustrates you even more towards the end of the game."

The game will be broadcast live on the NBCSN.
