Watch Boston Bruins Vs. St. Louis Blues Live Stream: Start Time, Game 3 Of Deadlocked NHL Stanley Cup Finals
Heading into Game 2 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, the Boston Bruins had not lost a hockey game since April 30, winning eight playoff games in a row against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Carolina Hurricanes, and in Game 1 of the finals, the St. Louis Blues. But as NBC Sports showed, a perfectly placed shot from just inside the blue line by St. Louis defenseman Carl Gunnarsson, which got past Boston’s largely impenetrable goalie Tuukka Rask in overtime, changed all that.
Now the series moves to St. Louis for the first Stanley Cup Finals game there since 1970, as the two teams play a crucial Game 3 to break the 1-1 deadlock.

How important in Game 3? According to stats posted by Forbes the winner of a tie-breaking Game 3 goes on to win the Stanley Cup 70 percent of the time. And Vegas oddsmakers see the Blues as slight favorites to win the game on their own ice, with betting odds of -110, while the Bruins are at even money to win.
In the first two games, home ice did not give the Bruins an advantage, as the two teams split in Boston, and getting off to an early lead has not meant much either, according to NHL.com. The Blues jumped out to a 2-0 lead in Game 1, only to see the Bruins score four unanswered goals to win, while Boston held leads of 1-0 and 2-1 before allowing Game 2 to go to overtime where Gunnarson’s goal evened the series.
Perhaps the most important key to the series has been the performance, or lack of it, by the Bruins’ top line of Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, and Brad Marchand. The three stars have 23 goals and 48 points among them in the playoffs, per Hockey Reference, but no points at all in the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals.
