Stanley Cup Playoffs: Bruins Take 2-0 Series Lead Over Rangers; Senators Win 2 OT Thriller To Climb Back Into Series With Penguins

Two games, both in the Eastern Conference, were contested on Sunday as the Stanley Cup Playoffs continued.

At Boston:

Torey Krug, Gregory Campbell, Johnny Boychuk, Brad Marchand, and Milan Lucic each scored a goal while Tuukka Rask turned back 35 of 37 shots as the Boston Bruins took a two-games-to-none lead in their conference semifinal series with the New York Rangers following their 5-2 home win in game two.

At Ottawa:

After Daniel Alfredsson's shorthanded goal at 19:31 of the third period forced overtime, Colin Greening scored the winning goal at 7:39 of the second extra period at the Ottawa Senators cut the Pittsburgh Penguins' conference semifinal series advantage to two games to one with their 2-1 home win in game three. Craig Anderson saved 49 of 50 shots to preserve the victory while his Pittsburgh counterpart (and the hard-luck loser) Tomas Voloun saved 46 of 48 shots.
