Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson, bottom, of Sweden, takes down Boston Bruins left wing Daniel Paille, 20, during the second period in Game 3 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Finals in Boston.BOSTON – The Bruins’ third line was No. 1 in Boston.
The revamped lineup of Daniel Paille, Chris Kelly and Tyler Seguin scored Boston’s first goal and drew the penalties that led to another in a 2-0 win over Chicago on Monday night for a 2-1 lead in the NHL Stanley Cup finals.
“That’s what we’ve got to do,” Paille said. “To be effective, we have to skate like that and hustle. It’s been good for us so far, and we want to keep going.”
His line also led Boston’s pestering forecheck that forced Chicago into repeated giveaways and penalties as the Bruins controlled play from the start.
“We’re having fun. The three of us are working hard and having fun, which is nice,” Kelly said. “It’s always fun, but some days are more fun than others.”
