The Bruins lost the first two games of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series but cut the deficit to 2-1 with Monday's win and can tie the series with a Game Four victory in Montreal Thursday.
Boston raced to a 3-0 lead on goals from David Krejci, Nathan Horton and Rich Peverley, but the Canadiens stormed back to make it 3-2, Andrei Kostitsyn and Tomas Plekanec netting for the Habs.
With the Canadiens pushing for an equaliser, Chris Kelly clinched the win with an empty-net goal in the final minute.
Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas, who led the NHL in goals against average and save percentage in the regular season, made 34 saves and got a boost from captain Zdeno Chara's return to the ice after the hulking defenseman missed Game Two with dehydration.
"He makes a huge difference," Thomas said. "He's one of the most important players if not the most important player on this team, and he's one of, if not the best, defensemen in the league.",68272,43956,33816,91339,62451,66744,46342,51931,90260,76367,98705,49167,30815,61189,92489,77427,38982,49428,82185,14781,29020,13779,65047,63861,77701,85626,10413,26244,52713,94565,96202,82836,85535,29795,25770,63371,39309,36338,44691,34725,33852,13378,34722,28078,94048,12658,24296,35379,23278,77430,68211,64826,95319,67790,60647,57984,56425,70978,18330,59690,87608,27069,39707,43521,43783,11718,83196,90634,92632,30265,86344,55253,17155,49393,43738,89249,60348,58271,13706,35424,61487,20099,97003,48800,94117,83026,67808,78314,32187,35352,97634,38047,31558,57301,84601,10551,45380,23040,87869,57853,32347,97935,62032,76397,81816,82182,91724,23237,76277,42735,29873,78235,72461,87976,98569,46121,79823,73013,44014,29508,50593,22084,50282,78553,69389,73801,56326,54501,28453,92783,88848,53320,11376,36657,67685,54739,50817,59971,59538,76173,52353,15895,39487,36932,10610,88035,46106,50326,36537,58139,58609,43733,64936,54521,80818,42659,30489,40806,46572,92563,41015,80201,78001,42865,13546,66473,23093,26728,67404,72557,29589,68984,23737,45718,31970,96091,39206,98574,88594,67782,22123,16379,58993,11137,27904,27562,25119,47762,93608,43810,34176,18677,19162,66102,31986,30331,76166,50058,33673,83630,29943,69617,61128,41790,22632,62283,64120,87959,29990,94382,72870,15898,11533,67886,38263,83321,87691,26863,31707,11081,73952,43138,98554,19799,40499,99267,12820,34932,56931,86982,37229,75349,37982,60214,34697,56289,84900,18184,56588,38650,85238,16792,37810,31643,68463,12822,51112,42742,58324,63727,65809,46606,85947,36491,88453,56005,18016,70672,45104,10453,72955,53175,12111,11578,33167,71165,85642,20680,16349,85614,81283,58171,82860,58251,87512,70096,72551,30197,63466,42706,77575,19054,19877,45437,84512,22445,87456,51088,14117,26792,93304,87082,68937,21861,37367,57948,82565,92450,39509,27139,37473,98667,80305,13500,62420,32607,77297,50091,29341,86873,89464,39653,62462,41933,82640,56303,16600,83399,41291,44667,52802,79853,29352,78186,52052,47111,27629,67198,18031,41431,95544,81975,24835,48672,31405,19559,59702,32602,37342,71092,36835,11099,34468,39707,98436,40230,98862,14165,87065,48611,98543,80305,57836,31532,96174,88234,25564,14665,11064,76486,11194,99943,28844,20962,59740,41822,18572,41580,16601,87365,76521,16671,11451,53051,63110,25456,69406,22872,26099,50410,21696,35151,51651,23246,73218,63129,97868,86017,92031,10874,22588,45908,95251,82238,76911,67954,15038,48772,95934,37151,81970,11193,51946,75426,78702,29293,91408,14773,72006,55882,84294,83237,68087,68268,29218,10654,90152,45681,21676,26274,95900,69448,96407,67065,86765,84265,36701,15007,14355,47205,62003,67578,68487,34578,14551,77770,35214,50999,34219,98154,85082,50455,48160,12393,72602,72235,84117,45326,62670,35850,21123,18310,79209,11219,62751,74409,32996,46134,56397,98807,32081,96200,41485,96297,92576,11910,93756,94139,50768,89846,65019,51493,27275,35594,66063,28382,51305,33999,64197,56587,60250,23376,24400,62242,93091,53858,33470,67498,82147,43955,81365,22423,41879,97873,44794,90758,62022,66627,94153,76351
