The Blackhawks also became just the eighth team to win both the Cup and the [[Presidents' Trophy]] (as the team with the best regular season record) in the same season. Chicago's [[Patrick Kane]] was awarded the [[Conn Smythe Trophy]] as the Most Valuable Player of the playoffs.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=675063|title= Chicago's Patrick Kane wins Conn Smythe Trophy as Stanley Cup playoff MVP|date=June 24, 2013|work=NHL.com|access-date=June 25, 2013 }}</ref>

Boston finished the lockout-shortened regular season with 62 points, finishing in second place in the Northeast Division, and the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. Throughout the regular season, the Bruins and the [[Montreal Canadiens]] were neck-and-neck in the division, but the Bruins lost their last game to the [[Ottawa Senators]], a contest that was postponed until the end of the regular season due to the [[Boston Marathon bombing]]. In the first round of the playoffs, Boston rallied from a 4–1 third period deficit in gameGame seven7 to defeat the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] in overtime. The Bruins then eliminated the [[New York Rangers]] in five games, and then swept the top seeded [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] in the Eastern Conference FinalsFinal.

[[File:David Bolland.JPG|thumb|upright=.8|[[Dave Bolland]] scored the Stanley Cup-clinching goal in the final minute of Game 6.]]
With Chicago holding a 3–2 series lead heading into game six, the desperate Bruins outshot the Blackhawks 12–6 in the first period, with the Bruins ending the period up 1–0 due to [[Chris Kelly (ice hockey)|Chris Kelly's]] goal. However, Chicago would fight back in the second period, as Blackhawks captain [[Jonathan Toews]] scored on a breakaway while shorthanded to tie the game (Toews' goal would be recorded as an even strength goal, as it entered the net just after [[Andrew Shaw (ice hockey)|Andrew Shaw's]] penalty expired). The teams entered the third period with the game tied 1–1. However, [[Milan Lucic]] would score at 12:11 of the third period to put the Bruins in front again. With the Bruins clinging onto a 2–1 lead late in the third period, the Blackhawks pulled goalie [[Corey Crawford]] for the extra attacker. This resulted in [[Bryan Bickell]] scoring the game-tying goal with 76 seconds remaining in the game on a feed from [[Jonathan Toews]]. Thus, with the score tied 2–2, it appeared the Finals would go to overtime for the fourth time. However, only 17 seconds after Bickell's goal, [[Dave Bolland]] scored what proved to be the series-winning goal, as the Bruins were unable to get an equalizer in the final minute with goalie [[Tuukka Rask]] on the bench.<ref name="Blackhawks win CBC">{{cite web | url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/game/1326722/ | title=Blackhawks win Stanley Cup in stunning fashion | publisher=CBC | work=CBC.ca | date=June 24, 2013 | access-date=June 24, 2013 | author=The Canadian Press}}</ref> Bolland's goal at 19:01 of the third period broke the record for the latest Stanley Cup game-winner scored in regulation.<ref name="NHL CHI late rally">{{cite web | url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=675134 | title=Blackhawks' late rally caps epic Final with Bruins | publisher=NHL | date=June 25, 2013 | access-date=June 25, 2013 | first=Tal |last=Pinchevsky}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= httphttps://scoreswww.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=400470605|title= Blackhawks cap record-setting start with Stanley Cup win|date=June 24, 2013|work=ESPN|access-date=June 25, 2013 }}</ref>
