If you missed the St. Louis Blues and Boston Bruins squaring off today, you missed a good game and an absolutely wild third period.
The Blues led 2-1 going into the third, but the teams would combine to score five third-period goals -- all in the final five minutes. The Bruins led 4-3 in the final seconds, but after St. Louis' Barret Jackman laid down in his own crease to block a shot, the Blues rushed back the other way and David Backes scored the tying goal with 0.2 seconds left on the clock. Officials would review the goal for a possible high stick, but it would stand. The Blues went on to pull off the upset in the shootout.
