After winning Game 1 in pretty convincing fashion, the Boston Bruins had an opportunity to put the St. Louis Blues in a big hole before the series shifted back to St. Louis for Game 3. Instead, the Bruins allowed the Blues to get back into the reckoning for the Stanley Cup.
Charlie Coyle opened the scoring for the Bruins at the 4:44 mark of the first period on the power play; a promising sign considering how lacklustre the Bruins were with the man-advantage in Game 1. The lead was short-lived, as the Blues tied the game a few minutes later after Robert Bortuzzo‘s shot deflected off of Matt Grzelcyk and past Tuukka Rask.
