Boston Bruins

Daniel Paille scored at 13:48 in overtime and Boston used another great performance by Tuukka Rask to overcome a sluggish start in a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night, tying the Stanley Cup finals at a game apiece.

Andrew Shaw deflected Dave Bolland's tip into the net at 12:08 of the third overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks' a 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins in the opener of the Stanley Cup finals, ending the fifth-longest game in finals history.

The Chicago Blackhawks have joined the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals, featuring Original Six franchises for the first time since 1979.

Emerging from a moment of silence with a deafening cheer, fans at Wednesday night's Bruins game paid tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing with a stirring a cappella national anthem and thunderous chants for their city, their country and their team.
