Monday's Game One of the NHL Stanley Cup was a win for Boston over St. Louis.
Final score of Game #1: Bruins 4 - Blues 2.
My Game #1 prediction: Blues 4 - Bruins 3 (in OT).
The Blues took a 2 to 0 lead into the second period. Bruins Connor Clifton fired a puck past Blues' goalie Jordan Binnington, followed minutes later by teammate Charlie McAvoy, tying the score at 2 - 2.
It stayed at 2 - 2 until P3, when Boston's Sean Kuraly scored, giving the Bruins 3, St. Louis 2. Teammate Brad Marchand nailed the puck into an empty net with a minute, 48 seconds left in the game, making the final score of 4 - 2.
The Blues played well, basically, the whole game. They got a little sloppy, Boston capitalized on it, and St. Louis couldn't pop back.
The Blues' Robert Thomas and Vince Dunn are on the injured list for tonight's Game 2, in Boston, at 8PM Eastern Time.
NHL.com: Are the Blues poised for a rebound in Game 2?
The Blues don't need to win tonight's game, but they really do. Going into game 3 - in St. Louis - down by two, kind of...sucks.
Predictions
Oddsshark predicts a final score in tonight's game of: Boston 3.2 - St. Louis 2.2.
I'd like for the Blues to win and tie the series tonight. The realist in me speaks differently.
My Prediction: Boston 3 - St. Louis 1
Happy Hockey!
