Their 2013 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 6 left a shocking impact. Their seven-game series loss to the St. Louis Blues six years later — again on home ice — left a bitter and disappointing taste in their mouths.
The Bruins peppered and rattled Jordan Binnington again, but they couldn’t take advantage of a susceptible netminder who settled into a groove after 15 first-period saves.
Binnington’s teammates made the most of their chances in Game 7 with two first-period backbreakers from Ryan O’Reilly and Alex Pietrangelo. They never looked back, as their staunch defensive prowess kept the Bruins’ attack at bay when it mattered most.
