Real Chevrefils scored a hat trick and added an assist, continuing his torrid pace in the series, and Boston Bruins did the improbable---forcing a Game 7 after losing the first three games---with a 5-2 victory over Montreal Canadiens in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals at Boston Garden.
Chevrefils, who had a very disappointing regular season (3 G, 8 A), has six goals and three assists in the Finals.
Once again, Boston goalie Terry Sawchuk outplayed his counterpart, Jacques Plante, who surrendered two very suspect goals.
Montreal's Bert Olmstead opened the scoring with a goal at 3:35 of the second period. But the team that has scored the first goal is only 3-3 in the series.
Bruins responded with five unanswered goals, including three in the second period within 11 minutes.
Chevrefils scored the tying goal at 6:18 of the second period, and he completed the hat trick with two goals in the third period to make the score 5-1.
Canadiens were outplayed for most of the game and managed just 22 shots on goal. But still, Sawchuk had to make several big saves, whereas Plante didn't help his team's cause as much.
Game 7 will be played at the Montreal Forum on Thursday.
