It was a win more than a half-century in the making. The St. Louis Blues defeated the Boston Bruins 3-2 in overtime to take Game 2, the franchise's first victory in a Stanley Cup Final game.

The Blues' 5-1 victory Tuesday night in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals to eliminate the San Jose Sharks felt as inevitable as it felt improbable just over five months ago, when St. Louis had the fewest points in the standings of any team in the NHL.

Now, the Blues are four wins away from hoisting the first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

The Boston Bruins are in the Stanley Cup Final, which means the Tuukka Rask redemption tour continues on.

The Bruins' goaltender has been spectacular in the Bruins' postseason run, including a 24-save shutout in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday to knock out the Carolina Hurricanes in a sweep.
