The 2019 Stanley Cup Final returns to Boston on Thursday night for a pivotal Game 5 between the Blues and Bruins.
St. Louis bounced back with a 4-2 victory in Game 4 after an abysmal performance in Game 3. Blues Goalie Jordan Binnington, who was pulled in the second period of Game 3 after allowing five goals, looked much better Monday, saving 21 of the 23 shots the Bruins sent his way.
Ryan O'Reilly netted two goals for St. Louis, his second giving the Blues the lead for good in the third period. The win on Monday was the first-ever home win for the Blues in the Stanley Cup Final. They were previously 0-7 at home in the Cup Final.

Boston exploded for seven goals in Game 3 and followed it up with a head-scratching performance in Game 4. The Bruins were outshot 38-23 and only found the back of the net twice.
To make matters worse for Boston, captain Zdeno Chara took a puck to the face late in the second period of Game 4 and didn't return to the game. New reports suggest that the seven-time All-Star's dealing with a broken jaw as a result of the injury and he isn't expected to play Game 5.
Here's everything you need to know tune in for Game 5 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final, including the puck drop time and TV channel.
