Horton aggravated a shoulder injury early in the first overtime of Game 1 and did not return. Horton left during the first overtime period after jostling with Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson in front of the net. The winger reportedly has been dealing with a left shoulder subluxation since the regular season. Despite the injury, Horton has not missed a game this postseason and is Bostons second-leading scorer in the playoffs with 18 points. He has seven goals and 11 assists in 17 games, placing him behind only David Krejci, who is leading all NHLers in goals (9) and points (23). After beginning the Stanley Cup Final with a memorable triple-overtime battle, the Bruins and Blackhawks have a tough act to follow. The Blackhawks grabbed a 4-3 decision in the opener on Wednesday, but not before erasing a two-goal deficit in the third period against the visiting Bruins. Andrew Shaw ultimately ended the game, scoring with 7:52 to play in the third overtime session to stake Chicago to a 1-0 lead in this best-of- seven series. The victory improved Chicagos home record in this postseason to 10-1, while the Bruins, who will host Game 3 on Monday, fell to 5-3 as the visiting club. Boston led 2-0 after a pair of Milan Lucic goals and the Bruins were ahead 3-1 after Patrice Bergeron scored at 6:09 of the third period. However, Dave Bolland scored 1:51 later to cut the deficit to 3-2 and Johnny Oduya evened the score with 7:46 left in regulation. Both teams had plenty of chances to win it before Shaws tally ended the epic contest late in the third OT. Michal Rozsival got the puck at the right point and flung it on net. Bolland deflected it in the slot, and the puck then went off the right knee of Shaw to get past Tuukka Rask for the win. "This is something you dream of as a kid and you have to seize the opportunity when its there," said Shaw of his winner. "It was luck." Shaws winner ended the fifth-longest game in Stanley Cup Finals history. Game 1 of last years final round between Los Angeles and New Jersey also ended in OT, marking the first time since 1934 and 1935 that consecutive Cup Final openers went to an extra session. Corey Crawford turned aside 51-of-54 shots in the win for Chicago, while Rask made 59 saves in a losing effort. "Crowe was great, he kept us in there," said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville about his goaltender. "He made several all-alone plays and saves. Had some odd-man breaks, some dangerous looks. He was great. Found the puck, challenged. A lot of pucks at the net, a lot of bouncing pucks with traffic, and a big penalty kill as well." Boston fired just 14 shots on net over the second and third periods on Wednesday, but they outshot the Blackhawks by a 29-24 margin in the overtime sessions. "I thought that in overtime we got better, we got a little stronger," said Boston head coach Claude Julien. "We had some great looks, some great opportunities, we just didnt bury them. Eventually somebody is going to score a goal as fatigue sets in. Not disappointed in our effort. Theres certain things youre going to want to fix for next game. But as far as the game is concerned, it was a hard fought game." Lucic added an assist in the loss to give him a three-point night, while his linemate David Krejci notched a pair of helpers. This series marks the first time Original Six franchises have met in the Stanley Cup Finals since 1979, when Montreal defeated the New York Rangers in five games. The Bs and Hawks also have won Stanley Cup titles recently, with Chicago beating Philadelphia for the championship in 2010 before Boston downed Vancouver in the following years matchup. Sam Mills Panthers Jersey . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford. Curtis Samuel Womens Jersey .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. http://www.shoppanthersonline.us/panthers-greg-little-blue-jersey/ . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. 7Tom Latham (194 runs at 32.33)One of the three batsmen to score a fifty or more in each of the Tests. Latham has little experience of playing in such heat and on such pitches, and he showed a lot of courage and determination to fight it out for long periods of time. Not for long enough as it turned out.Luke Ronchi (200 runs at 33.33)A bit of a surprise as he was not an established Test player coming into the series, but showed quickness of feet and eye to put India under pressure for brief periods of time. Got two rough lbw calls, but still would have liked to convert one of those contributions into a big one.Mitchell Santner (159 runs at 26.5, 10 wickets at 52.4)On his first Test tour to a country where he is expected to win his side matches, Santner did not quite answer that call but showed a lot of promise as an important player for the future. There was a lot of application in his batting and determination in his bowling. Could well end up as a genuine allrounder for all conditions.5Trent Boult (10 wickets at 33.3)With only one of the Tests played in conditions that kept him in the game, Boult did well to end up as the third-highest wicket-taker in the series. Never let up the intensity that New Zealand pride themselves on. Would have loved to run through the tail at least once.4Kane Williamson (135 runs at 33.75)Came as arguably the best Test batsman going around, began brightly enough with a half-century in his first innings of the series, but fell all four times to R Ashwin when playing on the back foot. Missed the middle Test with illness. Couldnt win a toss either.Neil Wagner (5 wickets at 39.2)Brought the hostility he is known for, took out Virat Kohli once and played a part in setting him up on another occasion, but again failed to run through the tail, which you expect of hostile bowlers. With little or no reverse swing happening, he became a bit of a one-trick pony.Jeetan Patel (6 wickets at 48.66)Coming back after he had almost given up on playing for New Zealand, Patel bowled better than the numbers suggest. He was close to the pace required on the Indian pitches, stayed accurate for long periods, and could have perhaps made a difference in Kanpur, the most helpful pitch for the spinners in this series. Scored a 47 too.Jimmy Neesham (71 runs at 35.5)These are not the conditions for Neeshams bowling; that and his injury meant he played only one Test. In that Test, though, he showed his aggressive intent could have helped them with the bat, and he did not bowl untidily either. Christian Miller Youth Jersey. Matt Henry (6 wickets at 42.33)Bowled with pace, precision and spirit, and once again the numbers dont tell the whole story. What the numbers do say is that on a green pitch, he and his two partner fast bowlers were stalled by Indias tail twice. There was enough to suggest, though, that he will push Tim Southee for a place in the New Zealand conditions even if the incumbent is fit.3.5BJ Watling (111 runs at 22.2 and five dismissals)Always seemed to find himself in the middle just when the ball began reversing. Kept fighting with the bat, and no blemish behind the stumps.3Martin Guptill (159 runs at 26.5)Got out caught off his own boot, bowled off his elbow and run out by the bowler through a deflection onto the stumps at the non-strikers end. Having said that, opening is one of the less difficult jobs in India and, as the aggressive batsman, he was expected to set the tone, which he managed to do only once in six efforts.Ish Sodhi (3 wickets at 49.66)On the most responsive of the pitches for spinners, failed to put enough pressure on India and also bowled a fair few loose balls, getting cut or pulled. Sodhi was consequently dropped for the second Test, and played no further part in the series.Mark Craig (2 wickets at 69.5)Showed better control than Sodhi, but less menace. Did not make a difference with the bat either as New Zealand lost five wickets for seven runs in the first innings of the series. Unfortunate injury meant he did not get a shot at redemption.Henry Nicholls (25 runs at 12.5)Got thrown into the deep end with Williamson injured in Kolkata. Showed application in the second innings but Indias bowlers proved to be too good.1Ross Taylor (89 runs at 14.83)Just couldnt trust his defence after he was out lbw to a straighter one in his first innings of the series. Guilty of plonking the front foot across and getting caught in between, making him a proper candidate for lbws. Not known anyway for disciplined defence, he couldnt bring his cavalier approach against such good bowling in these conditions. Thirty-two of the runs came in a devil-may-care hit-out in the final innings of the series when not much was left to lose. ' ' '
