"I think if you can force them to chase the game a little bit, you're much better off," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "And you know, that's a general statement that most teams will play better with the lead, but I think there are some in this league that are really good with the lead. I think we're one of them, and I think St. Louis is that type of team that's just built to play better with the lead than to have to come from behind."
Bjork one-timed Matt Grzelcyk's pass at the right circle to make it 2-0 at 9:31 of the second.
"The play started with [Connor Clifton] making a great rim, taking a hit from two of their forecheckers, then I think it was [Danton Heinen] on the wall kind of bumped it up," Grzelcyk said. "I just saw a lot of room to kind of jump in the play, and I knew when [Bjork] passed it to me he would be ready for the one-timer back. But yeah, it's been fun to watch him."
