After surrendering a second goal of the night a minute into the second period, the Bruins finally woke up in Game 1 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final. For Tuukka Rask, his job suddenly got a lot easier.
“I was pretty much a spectator after that,” Rask said after the 4-2 Boston win. The stats reflect Rask’s description.
The Blues managed just two more shots in the entire second period. And over the final 8:16 of the second, St. Louis had zero shots. The Blues’ scarcity of shots was contradicted by the Bruins’ abundance of opportunities.
