Visiting Boston had the lead in the game for a long time, including Elias Lindholm's 2-0 goal at the beginning of the third period.
Buffalo - playing in its first Stanley Cup game in 15 years - had a whopping 27 shots in the first two periods without scoring on Boston goalie Jeremy Swayman. It wasn't until 12:01 of the final period that the scoring broke loose, with four goals in the final minutes.
It was cooler than anything I had imagined. I couldn't hear anything other than the crowd, Dahlin said, according to Aftonbladet.
Boston managed to reduce the lead to 3–4 with eight seconds left, but never got any closer than that.
