Why That Matters:
– Nothing beats a win at home! And for the Bruins, winning their first game back in Boston was key
– The Blackhawks are still a favorite in this series, so winning game 4 will be crucial for them – leaving Boston 2 games behind is definitely not an option
Other Tidbits:
– Final score: Bruins 2 – Blackhawks 0
– Bruins Goaltender Tuukka Rask had his 3rd shut out of the playoffs with 28 saves
– Throughout the playoffs, the Bruins have only lost 2 games and both occurred during OT (they have yet to lose in regulation)
– The Bruins haven’t allowed a goal in 122 minutes and 26 seconds – the equivalent of more than two regulation games (last goal scored on Rask was early in the 1st period of game 2)
– Game 4 will be played in Boston at 8pm EST
