Bruins leave St. Louis not singing the blues
The Boston Bruins are trying to string together some Ws and that was to start tonight in St. Louis. Thankfully, Boston got some solid goaltending and timely scoring in a 4-2 win.
Brent Hughes opened the scoring for the Blues midway through the first period. Sean McKenna replied on the PP and Shawn Van Allen with 7 seconds left in the period to give the Bs the lead.
Steve Larmer scored to open the second in a period that the Bruins had three powerplay opportunities but couldn’t cash. Troy Murray scored in the third and Pat Hughes picked up his second of the game for St. Louis to round out the scoring.
The Bruins really needed to win this game, after losing to St. Louis earlier in this season. Hartford was winning at the time of writing so Boston needed this win to keep pace with a potential Whaler victory.
Next up is a trip to Tampa to face the Lightning.
GAME STARS:
