The St. Louis Blues are one win away from lifting the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history.
St. Louis defeated the Boston Bruins 2-1 in Thursday’s Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final at TD Garden and seized a 3-2 lead in the series with its performance in the swing game.
Ryan O'Reilly opened the scoring in the second period for the Blues, while David Perron added insurance in the third in controversial fashion after a missed tripping penalty earlier in the play. The Bruins fought back with a late Jake DeBrusk goal, but he was the only one to solve goaltender Jordan Binnington.
