Krug's Four Points Boost Boston to Game Three Win




Torey Krug (Michigan State) scored one goal and set up three others as the Boston Bruins regained control of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final with a 7-2 victory in Game Three at St. Louis on Saturday night. Boston now leads the best-of-seven series, two games to one.

Charlie Coyle (Boston University) and Sean Kuraly (Miami) scored first-period goals to help put Boston up, 3-0, after 20 minutes, while Krug scored the final goal of the second period to give the Bruins a 5-1 lead over the host Blues at that point. Noel Acciari (Providence) then tallied an empty-net goal in the final frame, with Krug assisting on another goal to make him the first Bruins defenseman to ever record four points in a Stanley Cup Final game.

Krug now has 16 points in 20 playoff games this spring. Boston also finished the night with four power-play goals as a team, scoring those four man-advantage goals on just four shots.

Colton Parayko (Alaska Fairbanks) scored the Blues’ second goal on a power play in the third period, assisted by Tyler Bozak (Denver), while Zach Sanford (Boston College) set up the first goal of the night for St. Louis in the second stanza for his first career NHL playoff point.

Game Four will be held Monday night in Missouri (8 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC).
