"After shaking off a messy first period, Mark Kastelic and Fraser Minten each scored a pair of goals to lead the B's to their second win over former coach Jim Montgomery's Blues, 5-2, in St. Louis. Jeremy Swayman made 24 saves for the win and Sean Kuraly had a pair of helpers. The B's lost a one-goal lead early in the third period but then scored the next three goals to earn the two points to start their three-game win streak."
"The Bruins welcomed back David Pastrnak (two assists) after he missed five games with an unspecified injury and started him off on a line with rookie Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov. But for the first time in three games, the B's found themselves with a deficit in the early going. The B's were not sharp early and needed Swayman to come up with a big save right off the bat on the first shift off a turnover."
"Nick Bjugstadt got behind everyone for a partial breakaway and Pavel Zacha slashed him to give the Blues the first power play of the game. It could have been a penalty shot but it didn't matter because the Blues cashed in at 5:27. Robert Thomas one-timed a Pavel Buchnevich pass from the high slot and, with some aid from a Jonathan Aspirot screen, the B's were down 1-0."
Boston defeated St. Louis 5-2 as Mark Kastelic and Fraser Minten each scored twice and Jeremy Swayman stopped 24 shots. Sean Kuraly recorded two assists and David Pastrnak returned from a five-game absence with two assists. Pastrnak initially skated with rookie Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov before moving to a top line with Morgan Geekie and Elias Lindholm. The Bruins fell behind early after a Robert Thomas goal on a Pavel Buchnevich feed but recovered by scoring three straight in the third period to secure the victory. Hofer was playing better.
