    Game Recap

    Tonight the New Jersey Devils go back on the road to take on the Boston Bruins. The Devils are still winless on the season and are hoping to turn their early misfortunes around and finally get in the win column. Unfortunately for the Devils, they’re still not getting the starts that they’re hoping for. Boston struck twice in the first as they got goals from Brad Marchand and Joakim Nordstrom. After the first period, the Bruins would take a 2-0 lead and start the second period with a power play on a late interference penalty called against the Devils.

    The Devils started the second period on the Penalty Kill and were fortunate to kill the penalty off. However, it wasn’t enough as the Bruins towards the end of the period would cash in on the Power Play. Patrice Bergeron went to the front of the net and put the loose puck in the back of the net. Boston would take a 3-0 lead over New Jersey going into the third period.

    Unfortunately for the Devils, they could still not get anything going offensively in the third period. The Bruins played shutdown hockey and kept the Devils from generating any sort of offense. Tukka Rask would make 31 saves as he and the Bruins would shutout the Devils by a final score of 3-0.

    Stanley Cup Final Game 2 – St. Louis Blues v. Boston Bruins

    St. Louis Blues v. Boston Bruins

    Game 2 – BOS Leads 1-0

     

    Game Recap:

    Going into Game 2 the St. Louis Blues are looking to take away the home ice advantage from the Boston Bruins and they came out hot until Sammy Blais would be called for goalie interference, and the Bruins would take advantage as Charlie Coyle would score on their first shot of the game to take the 1-0 lead. Then the Blues would respond as Robert Bortuzzo with an off angle shot that would beat Tuukka Rask to tie the game at one, but 40 seconds later Joakim Nordstrom would get the puck past Jordan Bnnington on a hard push to take back the lead. However, the Blues would not stay down as Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko would get a 2 on 1 break after Brad Marchand mad a bad play to cause the odd man rush, and on the broken play in front of the net Tarasenko would bat the puck past Rask to tie the game again as we enter the first intermission tied at two.

     

    In the second period we had ourselves a penalty palooza as both teams would make multiple trips to the box, but neither team would be able to capitalize on them. The Blues would out shoot the Bruins 14-6, but the score would remain 2-2.

     

    In third period it felt like both teams were playing it safe as they passed away opportunities. Also the ice was getting chippy as the puck was bouncing quite a bit, but there were still atleast two, maybe three, good scoring chances in the period.

     

    Going into overtime, it would be the Blues who would swarm the Bruins early, and with Torey Krug and Brandon Carlo tired, it would be Carlo taking a penalty, but while the penalty was delayed, the Blues would take advantage with the extra taker with the goalie pulled as Carl Gunnarsson would bomb it from the point for his first career playoff goal as the Blues even the series at one with a 3-2 win.
