•Canucks take Game 1
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Alex Burrows scored 11 seconds into Overtime to give the Vancouver Canucks a 3-2 win in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final series with the Boston Bruins. The Canucks lead the series 2-0.

The former ECHL player opened the scoring in the first period, but Boston bounced back in the second with goals from B.C. bred players Milan Lucic and Mark Recchi. Trailing 2-1 in the third period, the Canucks had plenty of pressure on the Bruins goal and then Burrows and Alex Edler helped set up Daniel Sedin to tie the game, midway through the frame.

On the winning goal, Burrows faked a shot on Tim Thomas, drawing the goalie out of position. He went wide, then around the net, before sliding the puck into a  wide open cage.

The game marked the return of Manny Malhotra to the ice, after missing two-and-half months because of a left eye injury. He had 13 shifts in seven-and-a-half minutes of action. The crowd chanted his name at key moments during the game.

Roberto Luongo blocked 28 pucks, while Tim Thomas made 30 saves in the Boston goal.

Game 3 is on Monday in Boston.
