(AP) -- The Boston Bruins put Roberto Luongo and the Stanley Cup back on the shelf.

After another home scoring spree against Vancouver's wildly inconsistent goalie Monday night, the Bruins are making one last trip west for the big finish to these dramatic Stanley Cup finals.

Brad Marchand, Milan Lucic and Andrew Ference scored in the first 8:35 to chase Luongo from his second straight game in Boston, and the Bruins emphatically evened the finals with a 5-2 victory in Game 6, sending the series to a decisive Game 7 in Vancouver on Wednesday night.

For the sixth time in the last 10 seasons, the finals have been stretched to their limit.

The home team hasn't lost in this series, with Vancouver winning three one-goal games and Boston posting three blowout victories.
