LOUIS \u2014 Just when the St. Louis Blues had the Boston Bruins on their heels and chasing the game, they gave up a goal and the roar went right out of the building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Blues could have let the talented Bruins seize the moment, let things get away from them on home ice. Again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">They didn\u2019t. The team that was mired in last place in the NHL in January, that suffered from missed calls in the playoffs and slogged through some tough losses instead showed the resolve of a championship contender and is now two victories away from lifting the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Ryan O\u2019Reilly scored the opening goal 43 seconds in and the winner with 9:22 left, and he and the Blues beat the Blues thrived in a chaotic Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night to beat the Bruins 4-2 and tie this bruising series at two games apiece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe knew what we had to do tonight to be a better team,\u201d coach Craig Berube said. \u201cWe were relentless tonight. We didn\u2019t stop for 60 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Game 5 is Thursday night in Boston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">This one was a back-and-forth thriller, with Boston\u2019s Tuukka Rask and St. Louis\u2019 Jordan Binnington each giving up tons of rebounds for frantic scoring chances and scrums.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Vladimir Tarasenko scored his 11th goal of the playoffs, and Binnington made 21 saves to improve to 7-2 in the postseason after a loss. Even more impressive was the rookie\u2019s bounce-back from being pulled in Game 3 for the first time in his NHL career. Rask allowed three goals on 37 shots and was on the receiving end of several Blues onslaughts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cHe spit some rebounds out,\u201d Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said of Rask. \u201cBut I don\u2019t have an issue with his rebound control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Charlie Coyle scored for the third consecutive game, and Brandon Carlo had a short-handed goal for Boston, but their stars were quiet again and a big problem may be brewing: Boston captain Zdeno Chara was knocked out of the game by a puck to the mouth. Chara was allowed to sit on the bench, but it\u2019s uncertain if he\u2019ll be able to play in Game 5 when the Bruins could be without two of their top six defensemen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">O\u2019Reilly ended an eight-game goal drought by cashing in two rebounds off Rask for his first multi-goal game since November. After losing 15 of his 23 faceoffs in a tough Game 3, O\u2019Reilly was dominant all over the ice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cHe\u2019s been our best player all year and he got rewarded,\u201d winger Patrick Maroon said of O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hockey Hall of Famer and Blues alum Brett Hull screamed at the top of his lungs into the microphone to pump up the crowd seconds before puck drop, \u201cAre you ready? Let\u2019s Go Blues!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">They were ready, all right, and it started with O\u2019Reilly\u2019s goal that was the Blues\u2019 sixth in the opening two minutes. They have done that now in all four rounds and are 6-0 when jumping out to a 1-0 lead in a game\u2019s first 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But this victory was all about responding well to yet another momentum swing that came on special teams: The Blues killed off a Bruins power play and then hemmed Boston in its own end for more than three minutes. While St. Louis cycled the puck in the offensive zone and changed several forward lines and defensive pairings, Boston defenders were gassed and Connor Clifton took a penalty for an illegal check to the head of Tarasenko.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Twenty-six seconds into the Blues power play, however, the Bruins inexplicably got numbers on a rush and Carlo scored shorthanded to tie it again. It was the fourth shorthanded goal St. Louis has allowed in the playoffs to only 13 power-play goals \u2014 but St. Louis didn\u2019t fold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI\u2019ve said it all playoffs: Things don\u2019t really seem to faze us,\u201d said captain Alex Pietrangelo, who assisted on O\u2019Reilly\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Another rebound off Rask paved the way for O\u2019Reilly\u2019s go-ahead goal. With St. Louis leading, fans could happily sing John Denver\u2019s \u201cCountry Roads\u201d at the under 6-minute timeout, and Brayden Schenn sealed it with an empty-net goal with 1:29 left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s anyone\u2019s game now,\u201d Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">When the final horn sounded, they played Laura Branigan\u2019s \u201cGloria\u201d to celebrate the Blues\u2019 first-ever home victory in the Stanley Cup Final.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cEvery year you keep hearing, let\u2019s go to finals, let\u2019s go win the Cup,\u201d Tarsaenko said. \u201cEven after last year, you hear it all summer. People start believing in us and we feel it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">NOTES: Sundqvist returned from a one-game suspension for boarding Bruins D Matt Grzelcyk, who missed his second game in a row. Sanford remained in the lineup, and Robby Fabbri was a healthy scratch. \u2026 Dunn replaced D Robert Bortuzzo in the St. Louis lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Blues and Bruins start all over again with a three-game series for the Cup with Game 5 in Boston on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP NHL: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/NHL\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/NHL<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/blues-beat-bruins-to-knot-stanley-cup-final-at-2-all\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Louis Blues center Ryan O&#8217;Reilly (90) celebrates with David Perron (57) after O&#8217;Reilly scored his second goal of the game during the third period of Game 4 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins Monday, June 3, 2019, in St. Louis.
