McQuaid, Rask lift Bruins to sweep of Penguins and spot in Stanley Cup finals

• BOSTON (AP) -- Tuukka Rask grabbed the final shot in his big glove as the buzzer sounded, sealing the Boston Bruins' stunning sweep of the suddenly powerless Pittsburgh Penguins.
• All Rask needed was one goal of offensive support from his Bruins teammates to get Boston back in the Stanley Cup finals.
• Defenseman Adam McQuaid snapped a third-period tie, and Rask did the rest as the Bruins beat the Penguins 1-0 to complete a sweep of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night.
• They did it by allowing the NHL's highest-scoring team just two goals in four games -- with Rask posting shutouts in the opener and the clincher.
• Boston's defense showed it could score as well when McQuaid provided the only offense the Bruins needed at 5:01 of the third period.
