As you probably know, the "official" game time listed on the NHL website is 3:00 PM.
However, if you turn on your TV exactly at 3:00 PM, be aware that you'll be waiting a while before the official puck drop.
A joint statement from the NHL and the Montreal Canadiens
The centennial game celebrations for the Bruins will delay the puck drop to 4:15 PM!
"BOSTON - The Canadiens and Bruins first faced off on Dec. 8, 1924. Nearly a century later-almost to the day-the two historic rivals will meet again in the Bruins' Centennial Game at TD Garden on Sunday.
The game will now take place at 4:15 PM instead of 3:00 PM which is quite a long delay if you ask me.
This is a matchup between the 31st team in the NHL standings (Montreal) and the 18th-ranked team.
The Canadiens have a record of 8 wins, 12 losses, and 3 overtime losses.
Meanwhile, the Bruins have a record of 11 wins, 11 losses, and 3 overtime losses, following a recent rough patch.
Notably, they recently fired their head coach Jim Montgomery (who didn't remain unemployed for long, by the way).
In short, see you at 4:15 PM today, live from Boston!
