Horton aggravated a shoulder injury early in the first overtime of Game 1 and did not return. Horton left during the first overtime period after jostling with Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson in front of the net. The winger reportedly has been dealing with a left shoulder subluxation since the regular season. Despite the injury, Horton has not missed a game this postseason and is Bostons second-leading scorer in the playoffs with 18 points. He has seven goals and 11 assists in 17 games, placing him behind only David Krejci, who is leading all NHLers in goals (9) and points (23). After beginning the Stanley Cup Final with a memorable triple-overtime battle, the Bruins and Blackhawks have a tough act to follow. The Blackhawks grabbed a 4-3 decision in the opener on Wednesday, but not before erasing a two-goal deficit in the third period against the visiting Bruins. Andrew Shaw ultimately ended the game, scoring with 7:52 to play in the third overtime session to stake Chicago to a 1-0 lead in this best-of- seven series. The victory improved Chicagos home record in this postseason to 10-1, while the Bruins, who will host Game 3 on Monday, fell to 5-3 as the visiting club. Boston led 2-0 after a pair of Milan Lucic goals and the Bruins were ahead 3-1 after Patrice Bergeron scored at 6:09 of the third period. However, Dave Bolland scored 1:51 later to cut the deficit to 3-2 and Johnny Oduya evened the score with 7:46 left in regulation. Both teams had plenty of chances to win it before Shaws tally ended the epic contest late in the third OT. Michal Rozsival got the puck at the right point and flung it on net. Bolland deflected it in the slot, and the puck then went off the right knee of Shaw to get past Tuukka Rask for the win. "This is something you dream of as a kid and you have to seize the opportunity when its there," said Shaw of his winner. "It was luck." Shaws winner ended the fifth-longest game in Stanley Cup Finals history. Game 1 of last years final round between Los Angeles and New Jersey also ended in OT, marking the first time since 1934 and 1935 that consecutive Cup Final openers went to an extra session. Corey Crawford turned aside 51-of-54 shots in the win for Chicago, while Rask made 59 saves in a losing effort. "Crowe was great, he kept us in there," said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville about his goaltender. "He made several all-alone plays and saves. Had some odd-man breaks, some dangerous looks. He was great. Found the puck, challenged. A lot of pucks at the net, a lot of bouncing pucks with traffic, and a big penalty kill as well." Boston fired just 14 shots on net over the second and third periods on Wednesday, but they outshot the Blackhawks by a 29-24 margin in the overtime sessions. "I thought that in overtime we got better, we got a little stronger," said Boston head coach Claude Julien. "We had some great looks, some great opportunities, we just didnt bury them. Eventually somebody is going to score a goal as fatigue sets in. Not disappointed in our effort. Theres certain things youre going to want to fix for next game. But as far as the game is concerned, it was a hard fought game." Lucic added an assist in the loss to give him a three-point night, while his linemate David Krejci notched a pair of helpers. This series marks the first time Original Six franchises have met in the Stanley Cup Finals since 1979, when Montreal defeated the New York Rangers in five games.

Bjorn, who had a 36-hole total of 8-under 134, made a testing six-foot putt to save par on the 16th and a birdie on the 17th before bogeying the final hole after a misjudged approach shot. American Kevin Streelman was in second place after shooting a 69.The ball still spun, and the sell-out crowds bayed for Sri Lanka, but Australia have comfortably won the limited-overs series playing scrappy cricket, captain David Warner said.Warner took Australias reins when the ODI series was tied 1-1, but has won each of the five matches since then. His team has been particularly impressive in the T20s, winning the first by 86 runs, and the second by four wickets with 13 balls to spare, despite having lost six wickets for 27 runs.I think the guys showed a lot of determination and fight to overcome the conditions, which were very, very challenging and something that we are not very used to, Warner said. The Test guys had to make an adjustment to make - from the Test match conditions to the one-day conditions.You saw scrappy cricket during the one-day series, where the highest score was 280 here. And then we were scrapping to get to 200. It was good grinding cricket. It was something that were not used to. The encouraging signs mean that weve worked really hard to win both series. Though Australia have fared much better against spin in the limited-overs series, Warner suggested that didnt necessarily make them better players of spin in the Test format. He was, however, pleased with the seam attack, which prospered in conditions not known to favour quick bowlers.We knew once the shine got off the ball, the ball was going to spin consistently, Warner said. In one-day cricket its a bit different - you cant have two in close with slip and a leg slip. Its just not possible. The reverse sweeps, sitting in the crease to pinch the ones and twos, and rotating the strike, are all much easier in this game than in the Tests, where it was very, very tough for us as a batting team.dddddddddddd But the way the bowlers conducted themselves and reduced totals after losing the toss consistently, was a fantastic effort.Maxwell had also said good T20 scores in Asia didnt guarantee better Test performances, though he has now starred in consecutive matches as opener. He hit the best innings of the match again, scoring 66 off 29 balls to break the back of the target during the Powerplay. He remains a makeshift opener however, having replaced the injured Aaron Finch in this series.Maxwell is a very good player of spin inside the first six, Warner said. He can chance his arm. He can reverse sweep and sweep. What he did today and the other day was no fluke. Thats exactly what he can do when given the opportunity. We know with the team we have a structure there, and once Aaron Finch comes back in, hell probably have to move down the order and assess what his game plan is again. Weve seen him do it at the top, weve seen him doing it in the middle - theres no excuse.Warner, who has been critical of bowler-friendly nature of the limited-overs pitches in Sri Lanka, said the Khettarama surface was the worst of the lot.The wicket probably wasnt up to scratch in the games. In the last game at Pallekele the wicket was outstanding - I know we played 260, but both teams felt like the wicket was very encouraging. We could hit over the top. There was nice, consistent bounce. Here it was very, very tough. ' ' '
