The Boston Bruins had a case of the Blues in Game 2.
St. Louis pushed back against the Black and Gold following its Game 1 loss. The Bruins, playing without Matt Grzelcyk for a good two-thirds of Wednesday’s tilt following a hit from behind by Oscar Sundqvist, felt taxed and lacked fundamentals despite leading twice during a wild first period.
Tuukka Rask gave his team a chance to win as the Bruins chased things after Vladimir Tarasenko tied things up with his 10th goal of the playoffs at 14:55 of the first. His effort went for naught as Carl Gunnarson, who hit the post late in the third period, redeemed himself in overtime with his first career postseason tally.
