                        Final Score: Boston 2, Chicago 0
 
 Boston,  MA (Sports  Network) -  Tuukka Rask  stopped 28  shots for  his third
 shutout  of the  playoffs to  lead the  Boston Bruins  in a  2-0 win  over the
 Chicago  Blackhawks in Game  3 of the Stanley Cup Finals from TD Garden. After
 splitting  a pair of overtime games in Chicago, Boston got second period goals
 from  Daniel  Paille and  Patrice Bergeron,  then turned  to its goaltender in
 the  third  period to preserve  the lead for a  2-1 advantage in this best-of-
 seven series. Chicago, meanwhile, has dropped the past two games after winning
 the  opener in triple-overtime despite 33 saves from Corey Crawford on Monday.
 The  team had  trouble generating any quality offensive chances, going 0-for-5
 on  the  power play,  due in  part to  Marian Hossa  missing Game  3 as a late
 scratch. It  was originally  reported that Hossa had suffered an injury during
 the  pre- game warmups, but Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville said after the
 game  that  Hossa suffered an  upper-body injury before  the warmups and he is
 day-to-day.  He was  replaced by  Ben Smith,  who played  in one  game in  the
 regular season. Game 4 will take place on Wednesday night in Boston.
