Stanley Cup Final Game 4 Report


The only good news for Bruins' collectors is that after Chicago captured Game 4 in overtime, 6-5, to tie the 2013 Stanley Cup Final at two games apiece, Boston will again wear White Final Set 1 in Game 5 Saturday from Chicago.

A wild and wacky night at TD Garden ended when Brent Seabrook fired a slapper past Tuukka Rask at 9:51 of OT.

After authenticating the jerseys following Chicago's victory, I can report that six Bruins (Patrice Bergeron, Johnny Boychuk, Zdeno Chara, Nathan Horton, David Krejci and Dennis Seidenberg) wore more than one jersey in the game:

-Krejci wore an extra Black Final jersey in the first period, which was donated by Boston-MGG to the Hockey Hall of Fame for their annual Stanley Cup Final display.
-Chara switched after the second period ... and wore his Set 2 for the third. He switched back to his Set 1 for OT.
-Seidenberg alternated period by period, wearing Set 1 in the first and third periods. He wore Set 2 in the second period and OT.
-Boychuk alternated period by period, wearing Set 1 in the first and third periods. He wore Set 2 in the second period and OT.
-Horton switched after the second period ... and wore his Set 2 in the third period. He switched back to his Set 1 for OT.
-Bergeron switched after the second period ... and wore his Set 2 in the third period. He switched back to his Set 1 for OT.

As they did in each game, the Bruins dressed 22 players for warmup, including defenseman Matt Bartkowski and forward Carl Soderberg, who did not play.

See you Saturday from United Center.
