Patrice Bergeron's second goal of the game has given the Boston Bruins a huge 3-0 lead into the third period of Game 7 in the Stanley Cup final.

The short handed marker came after a race down the ice by Bergeron and two Canucks' defenders. He was tripped off his feet and somehow got the butt of his stick on the puck as he went by goaltender Roberto Luongo with a Canuck on top of him.

That goal has the Bruins on the verge of winning their first cup in 39 years.

A wrap-around goal by Brad Marchand put the Bruins into a 2-0 lead earlier in the second.

Marchand, who now has 10 goals in the post-season, picked up the puck to the left of Luongo, circled the back of the net and beat the goalie to the other side to poke the puck in.

Bergeron had given the Bruins a 1-0 lead in the first period.

Boston won a faceoff in the Vancouver zone and a pass from the boards into a scrum in front of goaltender Luongo landed on Bergeron's stick. He fired it high off the left post and into the net at 14:37.

It was Bergeron's first marker in seven games.
