After being denied on their 18 first-period shots, it didn't take much time for the Bruins to get on the board in the second period. Patrice Bergeron tallied one for Boston just 30 seconds into the middle frame, after James Reimer gave up a big rebound:

After struggling in the first period, Zdeno Chara found life in the second and started doing what he does best: being a giant. Here he is trying to smush Mikhail Grabovski into a pancake:

The Bruins continued to swarm the Toronto net and pour on shots, until finally it paid off with this David Krejci goal:

With under five minutes remaining in the period, Toronto's Colton Orr took an elbowing penalty -- and it ended up being a costly one. Krejci would score again on the power play, giving the Bruins the lead:
