The Stanley Cup Finals is currently tied 1-1 between the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues as the series heads to St. Louis for Game 3.�
The series could easily be 2-0 for either team as it's been a pretty tight series.�
One thing holding the Bruins back from having a 2-0 series lead is the fact that the team's first line hasn't been playing in top form.�
Brad�Marchand and linemate Patrice Bergeron have combined for eight turnovers through the first two games and it's more than the rest of the team combined.�
Bergeron hasn't looked like himself in the faceoff circle either as he won just five of 13 faceoffs during Game 2 and head coach Bruce Cassidy decided not to use him during some very important faceoffs.�
Former Bruins' coach and Sportsnet analyst Don Cherry believes that Bergeron is dealing with a more than minor injury.�
It wouldn't be surprising as Bergeron played through��a broken rib, torn cartilage and muscle tissue, a separated shoulder along with a hole in his lung when the Bruins lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2013 Stanley Cup Final.�
