Brad Marchand - W - Bruins

Brad Marchand and Andrew Shaw mixed it up near the end of the Game 3.

The Bruins agitator accused Shaw of eye gouging in the scrum. "Stuff happens. I've done that [punched a guy on the ice] before," said Marchand. "The eye gouge is what I didn't particularly like, but it's part of the game. I've got a nice little scratch mark on my forehead from the claw marks from the ... you know ... kitty cat." Shaw and Marchand play very similar games, so it's not surprising that they collided during the Stanley Cup Finals. Tempers boiled over late in Game 3, but there's too much on the line to be looking for revenge.

Chris Bourque - W - Bruins

Chris Bourque has signed a contract with Ak Bars Kazan of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League.

Bourque is currently traveling with the Bruins' Black Aces squad during the Stanley Cup final, which makes the timing of this report strange. However, Bourque has played in the KHL before and was likely ticketed for the AHL next season after being waived by the Bruins earlier this season. We'll update if anything becomes official.

Gregory Campbell - C - Bruins

Gregory Campbell (broken leg) says he's been given a six-to-eight-week recovery timetable.

Campbell suffered a broken leg in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals and underwent surgery to repair the injury last week. Campbell should be 100 percent in time for training camp.

Zdeno Chara - D - Bruins

Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien says Zdeno Chara was cut over the eye in pregame warmups and not the back of the head as reported Monday night.

Chara needed stitches after colliding with teammate Milan Lucic during warmups and there was brief concern he'd suffered a head injury during the pregame skate. The cut clearly didn't bother the Bruins' top defenseman as Chara again led Boston in minutes and again shut down Hawks star Jonathan Toews. Chara and the Bruins will look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead Wednesday night.

Gregory Campbell - C - Bruins

Gregory Campbell attended Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

He sustained a broken leg, which required surgery to repair, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus Pittsburgh. Campbell was seen on walking around on crutches, but having him around probably gave his teammates a lift Monday night in their 2-0 victory.

Jaromir Jagr - W - Bruins

Jaromir Jagr took sole possession of fifth place on the NHL's all-time postseason points list on Monday night.

He picked up an assist in Game 3 versus Chicago to break his tie with Paul Coffey. Jagr has amassed 197 playoff points in 199 games. He has no goal and eight helpers in 19 contests during his latest postseason run with Boston.

Patrice Bergeron - C - Bruins

Patrice Bergeron was dominant in the faceoff circle in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

He won 24 of the 28 draws he took for a masterful 85.7 winning percentage. Bergeron also registered seven shots on goal and he netted a power-play goal in the contest. His marker was Boston's second in a 2-0 victory Monday night.

Tyler Seguin - W - Bruins

Tyler Seguin still isn't having much luck in the goal-scoring department, but he does have three assists in his past three games.

He has collected a helper in each game of the Stanley Cup Finals against Chicago. Seguin is playing well with energy forwards Daniel Paille and Chris Kelly on Boston's newly-formed third line. However, he has only one goal in 19 postseason contests.

Chris Kelly - C - Bruins

Chris Kelly picked up an assist in Game 3 Monday night.

He got his first point of the postseason in Game 2 versus Chicago when he scored a goal. Kelly had been woeful offensively all season, but he's starting to produce in the Stanley Cup Finals. Goals have been hard to come by in the past two games, so getting a point in consecutive contests is something worth mentioning right now. Kelly also won eight of his 11 faceoffs in the match.

Claude Julien - C - Bruins

Boston has killed of all 11 of Chicago's power plays during the Stanley Cup Finals.

"Our power play tonight was definitely not good," said Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville after Monday night's 2-0 loss in Game 3. Chicago went 0-for-5 in the contest and Boston scored once on four of their opportunities. Thanks in part to their special teams the Bruins currently have a 2-1 series lead.

Daniel Paille - W - Bruins

Daniel Paille scored the first goal of the Boston Bruins' eventual 2-0 Game 3 win Monday night.

Paille's speed and strong forecheck helped Boston set the tone from the very beginning. Right before he scored, the Bruins were swarming the Blackhawks in their zone, with Paille, Tyler Seguin and Chris Kelly ripping shots at Corey Crawford. The trio combined for a goal and two assists on the night and might have been Boston's best line in Game 3.

Tuukka Rask - G - Bruins

Tuukka Rask stopped all 27 shots in a shutout of the Chicago Blackhawks to help the Boston Bruins take a 2-1 series lead in the Stanley Cup final.

The Blackhawks didn't test him much and the Bruins defensemen kept Chicago's forwards to the outside much of the time, but Rask was clearly locked in from the drop of the puck. Rask also did a very good job of controlling rebounds and got a little help from the post on a Bryan Bickell shot in the final minutes of the third period. It was another strong performance to add to Rask's potential Conn Smythe resume.

Zdeno Chara - D - Bruins

Zdeno Chara needed stitches after colliding with teammate Milan Lucic in pregame warmups, according to multiple media outlets.

Chara ended up hitting the ice after losing his edge. The hulking defenseman slid into the back of Lucic's legs and it appeared Lucic's skate may have made contact with Chara's head. It didn't bother him enough to keep him off the ice. Chara picked up an assist and while playing a team-high 25:47 and again teamed with Dennis Seidenberg to shut down Jonathan Toews. The Bruins now lead the series 2-1.

Chris Kelly - C - Bruins

Chris Kelly went nearly two full months between points.

Kelly didn't have a point in 17 playoff games before he finally netted a goal in Boston's 2-1 overtime victory on Saturday. "I think he's been snake bitten for quite a while," said Bruins coach Claude Julien. "When you don't score, eventually you get scored on, and the minuses keep creeping up. That was certainly something that bothered him. [But] I thought he played well tonight. He's played well in some games. He hasn't been able to produce. So tonight is a good night for him, a good time to obviously have a great game." Kelly had just nine points in 34 games in the regular season, but he is capable of doing more offensively than those numbers imply. We'll see if he can build off of his slump busting game.

Milan Lucic - W - Bruins

Milan Lucic had a game-high 10 hits in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

That physicality helped the Bruins turn the tide after a one-sided first period. "The sense of desperation came into our game," said Lucic. "We were desperate on pucks, and trying to hunt pucks and win puck battles before after the first period. Being physical is a big part of our game, and when things aren't going your way you try to get yourself into it any way that you can. For me, that’s what I was trying to do: just get physical and get in on the forecheck. It seemed like things started to happen for us after that. We talked before the series about how important a factor the fore-check was going to be, and we need to keep that up."
