Joakim Nordstrom’s shot-blocking on the penalty kill brings back memories of Gregory Campbell

Bruins forward Joakim Nordstrom certainly earned his paycheck in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final when he scored the Bruins’ second goal of the night and followed it up with an exciting, shot-blocking sequence on the penalty kill.

After Connor Clifton was assessed a double minor penalty for high-sticking near the end of the second period, Nordstrom and the Bruins went to work on a four-minute long penalty kill. No. 20 blocked three shots in one sequence, using the side of his skate, his right leg, and finally a well-placed stick to prevent St. Louis’ skaters from getting the puck to Tuukka Rask.
