The NHL Game 2 Historical System Play is on Boston at 8:05 eastern. Game 2 home teams are 39-18 in the Stanley Cup Finals if they won game 1. The Bruin trailed Game 1 by two goals as late as 2:15 into the second period, but still won. In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff games from 1939 through 2018, inclusive, home teams down two goals as late as 2:15 into the second period had a game record of only 51-251 (.169). This type of loss could be demoralizing to a St. Louis team that has lost 9 of 12 on Wednesdays and the last 9 playoff games to Boston.. The dog in the series is on an 0-5 run. Boston has won 17 of 23 at home if the total is 5.5 and 21 of 26 after allowing 2 or less goals. The host is 5-0 in the series and the Bruins are a solid 24-7 with 1 day of rest and 4-0 in game 2 of a series if they won game 1. They have won 8 straight and likely go up 2-0 in the series tonight.
