Boston shuts out Chicago, 2-0, to control Finals 2-1

Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask stopped 28 shots for his third career playoff shutout to help Boston defeat the Chicago Blackhawks, 2-0, to take a 2-1 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals.  After playing four extra periods in the first two games, the Bruins made an early night of it with 2nd-period goals by Daniel Paille and Patrice Bergeron.

Chicago's Marian Hossa and Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara both left the ice after warmups.  But while Chara needed just some stitches after a collision with teammate Milan Lucic, Hossa was dropped from the lineup with an unspecified injury.

Game 4 will be this Wednesday night in Boston before the matchup of Original Six franchises returns to Chicago for a fifth game.
