MONTREAL (AP) - Former Montreal forward Michael Ryder scored twice and assisted on David Krejci's (KRIGH'-cheez) goal to help the Boston Bruins complete a four-game sweep of the Canadiens with a 4-1 victory on the Habs home ice.
Tim Thomas made 26 saves. and Phil Kessel also scored for Boston, which won the Eastern Conference quarterfinal for its first playoff series win in 10 years.
The top-seeded Bruins had lost five straight series - including losses to Montreal in 2002, 2004 and 2008 - since beating Carolina in the first round in 1999.
