ST. LOUIS—Tyler Bozak witnessed the first NHL playoff game in Toronto after a seven-year drought. When the St. Louis Blues host the Boston Bruins in Game 3 on Saturday night, it’ll mark the first Stanley Cup final game in the city in 49 years. The last one was on May 5, 1970 — Game 2 of the Bobby Orr-led Bruins’ four-game sweep of the Blues. After winning a final game for the first time in franchise history to tie the series at 1-1, the Blues are trying to make their own history at home. NBC Sports reported the highest local rating on cable for a playoff game, StubHub said the price to get in is $725 (U.S.), the average ticket costs $1,068 and demand is outpacing Game 1 in Las Vegas from a year ago.
