Another trait the Bruins and Blues share is balance. The Bruins have excelled on faceoffs, winning 53.3% of their draws, but the Blues have held their opponents to 28.4 shots per game, four fewer than the Bruins have faced per game. The Blues won a bruising West final against San Jose while the Bruins had 10 days’ rest. The Bruins staged a scrimmage to keep players active but forward Brad Marchand appeared to hurt his hand during that scrimmage. He didn’t practice on Sunday but Cassidy said Marchand will play on Monday.
