FROM JOE HAGGERTY:

*Two goals on four shots for the Blues in the first period. Two goals allowed on four shots for Tuukka Rask in the first period. The first one was a redirected puck from the slot and can be excused a bit for Rask, but he needs to stop a backhanded shot from Alex Pietrangelo with less than 10 seconds to go until the first intermission. It was a tough time for mediocre Rask to show up in these playoffs, but that’s exactly what has happened. The Blues then added an insurance goal in the third period to cap it all off and provide the kind of advantage that the B’s just weren’t going to be able to overcome.

*The Bruins had a couple of bouncy pucks around the front of the net for rebounds early in the first period, but it looked like Jordan Binnington really locked things down after that. He made big stops on Brad Marchand and David Krejci during the Boston power play and made 11 saves overall while settling in after the first few minutes where it looked like he was a little uncomfortable between the pipes.
