Raddysh gave Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead at 14:29 with a wrist shot from a sharp angle in the right face-off circle that got under Swayman’s right shoulder.<\/p>\n
Kucherov added an empty-net goal at 18:27 for the 3-1 final.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mittelstadt gave Boston a 1-0 lead at 6:47 of the second period after Viktor Arvidsson won a puck battle along the right wall and found Mittelstadt open for a wrist shot from between the circles.<\/p>\n
D’Astous tied it 1-1 at 2:13 of the third.
