Tuukka Rask yielded six goals on 47 shots in Boston's 6-5 overtime loss to Chicago on Wednesday night in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
This is a game that the Blackhawks really needed to have and one in which the Bruins' netminder wish he'd been a little sharper. The netminder was beaten on a few second chances and seemed to be off positionally at times, a result of Chicago's net-front presence. Rask has been on such a tear in the playoffs that his goals-against average only rose to 1.83 and his save percentage slid to .941. Sportsnet's Daren Millard even pointed out that it was only the fifth time in Rask's entire career (regular season and playoffs) that he's given up at least five goals in a game. It was also a rare contest in which the Bruins' defense seemed a bit overwhelmed, too. We have a feeling Rask will bounce back in Game 5.

Patrice Bergeron notched two goals for the Bruins, but they fell 6-5 in overtime in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final versus the Blackhawks on Wednesday night.
With all things even right now and each team's goalie enduring an "off" night, the talented two-way center has emerged as a legitimate Conn Smythe contender. Bergeron now has four goals in the Final, and he's recorded nine goals and 15 points in 20 playoff games thus far. Boston never held a lead in this game, going down by two goals twice. Rich Peverley, Milan Lucic and Johnny Boychuk were the other goal scorers for the Bruins. Veterans Zdeno Chara and Jaromir Jagr each picked up two helpers apiece. Lucic had a game-high eight hits.

Corey Crawford eked out a win despite giving up five goals in the Blackhawks' 6-5 overtime triumph against the Bruins on Wednesday night.
Despite making 28 saves, Crawford did not have his best game in this one, and it's clear that Boston has found a way to beat him on a pretty consistent basis. All five of the Bruins' goals went to Crawford's glove side and 10 of the 12 goals in the series have beaten him that way. That being said, Crawford certainly made some big saves when he needed to most, especially in overtime when he was five-for-five. Chicago has now made this a best-of-three series.

Brent Seabrook scored the overtime game-winning goal for the Blackhawks in their 6-5 victory Wednesday night against the Bruins.
The Blackhawks prevail in the wildest game of the Stanley Cup Final yet, pulling them even in the series, 2-2. Three of the four tilts have gone overtime, but this one was a totally different beast as offense led the way. These two teams combined for 12 goals in the entire series prior to this game. Chicago got on the board first with Michal Handzus' shorthanded marker, and it then took two two-goal advantages: 3-1 (with goals from Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane) and 4-2 (with a goal from Marcus Kruger). Patrick Sharp netted a goal in the third period to give the Hawks a 5-4 lead as well. Michal Rozsival picked up two assists and was a game-high plus-three, while Sharp led the way with eight shots on goal. Niklas Hjalmarsson finished a game-low minus-three. We are lucky to be witnessing a tremendous Stanley Cup Final.

Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello remains committed to bringing back David Clarkson.
Clarkson, who had 15 goals and nine helpers this season, is set to be an unrestricted free agent. "We'll do everything we can to sign him," Lamoriello said. "We're not looking to do anything else."
