The NHL geared the Winter Classic more towards American teams. The Toronto Maple Leafs were the first Canadian team to play when they visitied Michigan Stadium in 2014, but the next logical matchup was the Canadiens and Bruins. The Bruins hosted the Canadiens at Gilette Stadium, which the Canadiens won 5-1.

David Desharnais opened the scoring in the first period, and then Paul Byron and Brendan Gallagher added to the lead. Max Pacioretty and Paul Byron sealed the 5-1 victory in the third. Mike Condon was the second star with a 27-save performance.
