The B's rode that momentum into Game 3 in Tampa Bay on and emerged with a 2-0 victory to take a 2-1 series lead. It's one of only two Bruins wins on May 19 in team history.

B's center David Krejci opened the scoring just 1:07 into the game with a nice move in front of the net, and defenseman Andrew Ference tallied an insurance goal at 8:12 in the third period. The series ultimately was decided in Game 7 in Boston, where the Bruins won 1-0 on a Nathan Horton goal to clinch their first Stanley Cup Final berth since 1990. Another memorable Bruins matchup from May 19 was Game 2 of Boston's 2013 Eastern Conference semifinals versus the rival New York Rangers. After winning Game 1 with a Brad Marchand overtime goal, the B's pummeled the Rangers in a 5-2 victory to take a 2-0 series edge. Five different players scored for Boston. The Bruins went on to eliminate the Rangers in five games. Here are the other two Bruins games played on May 19: 1974 Stanley Cup Final: 1-0 loss at Flyers 1992 Prince of Wales Conference Final: 5-2 loss at Penguins Comcast SportsNet.com LOADED: 05.20.2020 1174674 Boston Bruins Bruins expected to get AHL reinforcements should NHL season resume By Joe Haggerty May 19, 2020 2:16 PM Things will be different for the NHL when the league does resume the 2019-20 season, and that extends to teams' rosters as well.
