VIDEO: Blues Answer Bruins With Pair of Equalizing Goals in Opening Period of Game 2
By Sam Dunn
Just. Like. That! The St. Louis Blues are steely tonight at the TD Garden-- they've just answered a second go-ahead Boston Bruins goal with a spirited equalizer. First, five minutes after Charlie Coyle put the B's ahead early, Robert Bortuzzo struck for the visitors to even things at one goal apiece in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Put it on the net and good things happen!

The joy was short-lived, however, as Joakim Nordstrom put Boston back in front less than one minute later. But that was all the motivation Vladimir Tarasenko needed, as he cleaned things up in front of goal and beat Tuukka Rask for a second game-tying goal of the first period.
Yep, that's an eight-game playoff point streak for Vladimir Tarasenko. #stlblues #WeAllBleedBlue pic.twitter.com/1CAYk1sMFd
