NHL Stanley Cup

The Boston Bruins needed a period-plus to shed the rust from a 10-day layoff. Once they did, they dominated in coming back to defeat the St. Louis Blues 4-2 in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final at TD Garden on Monday.

The biggest goal of Carl Gunnarsson's life gave the St. Louis Blues their first win in a Stanley Cup Final.

The Nashville Predators got their first Stanley Cup Final win Saturday, 5-1 in Game 3 against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville lost the first two games of its first Cup Final in Pittsburgh. "I think it's for sure saying that we're here to play," Predators defenseman Mattias Ekholm said. "We're not out of this by any means. Obviously coming back after two losses, guys were just anxious and excited to get out there and we really showed it in a great way."

The Boston Bruins scored four power-play goals on four shots to ruin an event 49 years in the making, defeating the St. Louis Blues 7-2 in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final at Enterprise Center on Saturday.

The St. Louis Blues got even in the Stanley Cup Final with yet another strong bounce-back performance following a loss in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Nashville Predators got a 4-1 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final at Bridgestone Arena on Monday to even the best-of-7 series 2-2. Pekka Rinne made 23 saves for Nashville. Frederick Gaudreau scored his third goal of the Stanley Cup Final and second consecutive game-winning goal.
