About Last Night
The Boston Bruins came from behind to take game one of the Stanley Cup Final over the St. Louis Blues by a score of 4-2. Brayden Schenn and Vladimir Tarasenko gave the Blues a 2-0 lead early in the second period but Boston stormed back, scoring four straight to take the series lead. Game 2 is Wednesday night at 8pm.
What a turnaround!
