Bruins Notes: Tuukka Rask Remains Dominant In Elimination Games

Tuukka Rask has been the Boston Bruins’ greatest participant on this Stanley Cup Final. That was the case earlier than Game 6, and it definitely is the case after Game 6. Rask made 27 saves because the Bruins staved off the St. Louis Blues, taking a 5-1 win Sunday evening at Enterprise Center to pressure Game 7 again in Boston on Wednesday. The Bruins had been 4-for-Four on the penalty kill, thanks massive partially to some loopy sprawling saves from Rask, and a little bit assist from Charlie McAvoy. But make no mistake, Rask has thrived most with the collection on the road in these playoffs. Sunday moved Rasks’ save proportion to .973 in elimination video games,

Marquez romps to dominant victory

Red Sox Notes: Drew Pomeranz Proving His Worth During Dominant Stretch

Drew Pomeranz often has been thought of as the weak link in the Boston Red Sox’s rotation, but he’s been anything but that over his past seven starts. The Red Sox left-hander came into Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Twins without a win in his previous three starts despite posting a 3.00 ERA over that stretch. And while Pomeranz only lasted five innings in Boston’s 9-2 win over the Twins, his ability to fight through two rain delays showed just how valuable the lefty has been. Pomeranz mowed down the first six hitters of the evening before sitting down for a 90-minute rain delay. But while a lot of starters might have
