Barbashev with an early goal
St. Louis Blues center Ivan Berbashev needed only 35 seconds to score a goal in Game 4. The Blues scored another goal late in the first period and although they didn’t find the back of the net in the next two periods, it was enough to get a victory.
35 seconds in is all it took for @Barbashev2295 to get things going. #StanleyCup

Bruins have a lengthy break
The Boston Bruins swept the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals and now they have 11 days to prepare for the Stanley Cup Final. It’s the longest stretch in the NHL’s salary cap era as Edmonton (2006) and Ottawa (2007) had a previous high of nine days, and both lost in the Cup final.
That means Boston will have 11 days between games leading into the final — the longest stretch in the NHL's salary cap era. Edmonton (2006) and Ottawa (2007) had previous high of nine days, and both lost in the Cup final.
