Dan Paille scored in overtime to lift the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals on Saturday to level the best-of-seven series.

It marked the second straight game that needed overtime to find a winner after Chicago won Game 1 on Wednesday in triple-overtime.

Patrick Sharp scored from a wild goalmouth scramble to stake Chicago to 1-0 first period lead and they dominated the early play, outshooting Boston 19-4.

But the Bruins came out stronger in the second period and were rewarded with the equaliser when Chris Kelly banged home a rebound for his first of the post-season.

The best-of-seven series now shifts to Boston for Game 3 on Monday.
