BOSTON (AP) — Boston's Tanner Jeannot and Montreal's Josh Anderson dropped the gloves at the opening faceoff of Tuesday night's game, renewing the long-running rivalry between the Original Six teams who are jockeying for position in the Eastern Conference standings.
Jeannot, who has 53 goals and 435 penalty minutes in his career, and Anderson (154 and 582) fought for about a minute while teammates on both benches banged their sticks against the boards in approval. The Bruins forward landed several blows before his Canadiens counterpart went to the ice, drawing a big roar and a chant of “U-S-A!” from the TD Garden crowd.
Midway through the first period, it happened again, with Boston's Nikita Zadorov and Montreal's Arber Xhekaj dropping their gloves off a faceoff in the Bruins' end. In all, there were nine penalties for 30 minutes in the first, with Boston taking a 2-1 lead on a power-play goal with 18 seconds left in the period.
The Canadiens entered the night tied for third in the East with 43 points, but a Boston victory would match them. The Bruins have won eight of the last 10 matchups between the teams, including a 3-2 win in Montreal on Nov. 15.
That game also featured several scuffles, including a fight at the opening faceoff. But the bigger problem for the Bruins had nothing to do with the fisticuffs: star defenseman Charlie McAvoy was hit in the face by a slap shot, causing him to miss almost a month.

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 23, 2025--
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a CMOS dual comparator, " TC75W71FU." It features a high-speed response and a full input/output range ( Rail to Rail ), suiting it for use in overcurrent detection in industrial equipment [1]. Shipments start today.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251223600868/en/
Today’s industrial equipment uses large currents in motor drives and power circuits. This brings with it the risk of sudden overcurrent, which can damage equipment, shut down production line, and even reduce safety; its rapid detection and protection from it are essential. In the constant search for higher efficiency and product miniaturization, the range of current and voltages that circuits can support has narrowed, and even slight overcurrent can impose a significant load on the circuit. This increases the need for faster and more precise overcurrent detection technologies.
The new product offers a faster propagation delay than the current TC75W56FU, with a maximum of 45ns for low-to-high transitions and 30ns for high-to-low transitions [2]. This enables immediate equipment shutdown in overcurrent, enhancing operational safety.
The input/output voltage range supports the full range—operation from minimum (GND) to maximum (Vcc) supply voltage—making design easier. The minimum operating supply voltage, 1.8V, supports low-voltage operation. Since the new comparator also features a push-pull output [3], signal rise and fall times are fast, no external pull-up resistor is required, and a stable voltage level can be maintained.
In addition to TC75W71FU, TC75W72FU, which features added hysteresis for enhanced noise immunity, and TC75W73FU [4], which offers hysteresis and an open-drain output [5] capable of sending signals to voltage domains different from the comparator’s supply, are scheduled to start mass production in February 2026.
Toshiba will continue to develop comparators that contribute to improved safety and reliability of industrial equipment, and to expand the product lineup to meet a wide range of customer needs.
