The St. Louis Blues were hoping defenseman Vince Dunn was going to return for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals. Even though he didn't, things still worked out just fine.
Veteran defenseman Carl Gunnarsson, who was a healthy scratch for the first four games of the playoffs, was the unlikely source of St. Louis' overtime game-winning goal on Wednesday night, lifting the Blues to a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins, evening the series at 1 and helping to fill the void created by Dunn's absence. Gunnarsson was playing on the third defensive line, a spot typically occupied by Dunn.
