After losing Game 1 in a triple overtime, the Bruins have taken two in a row to grab a 2-1 edge in this best-of-seven set. Boston notched a 2-1 OT victory in Saturdays Game 2 battle in Chicago and then recorded a 2-0 triumph in Mondays clash at TD Garden. Chicago had its worst outing of the series in Game 3, but this years Presidents Trophy winners have a chance to tie the series on Wednesday. If the Blackhawks lose Game 4, however, theyll be faced with an elimination game when the teams meet again in Chicago on Saturday. Boston is 8-2 at home in the playoffs this year while Chicago is just 3-5 on the road. The visiting Blackhawks couldnt solve Tuukka Rask in Game 3, as Bostons goaltender stopped 28 shots for his third shutout of the playoffs. Rask has turned aside 120-of-125 shots so far in this series and is sporting a 1.64 goals against average in 19 playoff games this spring. "I mean, they had shots, but most of them came from the outside," said Rask. "We eliminated a lot of those rebound opportunities. I think thats something that every team likes to do, and we succeeded today." Boston received second-period goals from Daniel Paille and Patrice Bergeron on Monday, then turned to its goaltender in the third period to preserve the lead. Paille scored for the second straight game, while Bergeron dominated the faceoff circle, winning 24 of his 28 draws in Game 3. Jaromir Jagr registered an assist on Bergerons goal, giving him 197 playoff points in his career and moving the Czech star into sole possession of fifth place on the NHLs all-time list, one ahead of Paul Coffey. Jagr, who has no goals and eight assists in thiis postseason, is the only player never to have worn an Edmonton uniform in the top-five in playoff points.ddddddddddddWayne Gretzky (382), Mark Messier (295), Jari Kurri (233) and Glenn Anderson (214) are in spots 1-4. Chicago received a 33-save effort from Corey Crawford on Monday, but the club couldnt overcome the absence of star winger Marian Hossa, who was a late scratch for Game 3. The good news is the unspecified upper-body injury wont hold him out of tonights game, even though he did not skate this morning. Jamal Mayers skated on the second line, possibly holding a spot, while Ben Smith skated with the extra line. The likely return of Hossa, who was replaced by Smith in the lineup on Monday, could spark the struggling Chicago power play, which went 0-for-5 with the man advantage on Monday. The Blackhawks have failed to score on 11 power- play chances in this series and the club is just 7-for-62 on the man advantage in this postseason. "They box you out. They got big bodies. They blocked shots," said Quenneville about Bostons success on the penalty kill. "I think we had some chances to get some pucks through the net, we didnt. Our entries werent great. Thats something you want to look at." From a historical sense, Chicago needs to take Game 4 to have a realistic shot at winning this series. Although the Blackhawks came back from down 3-1 to defeat Detroit in the second round of this years playoffs, only one team in NHL history -- the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs -- has ever come back to win a Stanley Cup Finals series after trailing three games to one. The Leafs erased a 3-0 deficit in that series to against the Red Wings. This series marks the first time Original Six franchises have met in the Stanley Cup Finals since 1979, when Montreal defeated the New York Rangers in five games. Boston has won five of the six postseason meetings with Chicago. ' ' '
