The top-ranked Bruins bring a 9-3-1 record to St. Louis, where the Blues are looking to snap a two-game skid.
Boston arrives at Enterprise Center ranked No. 1 in the power index with 19 points, while St. Louis sits 22nd with 11 and has lost two straight. The Bruins have won three of their last five; the Blues have dropped three of five, including consecutive shutouts. David Pastrnak leads Boston with 17 points in 13 games, against a St. Louis scoring lead shared by Dylan Holloway and Mason McTavish at 10 points apiece. Boston averages 15.4 blocks per game to St. Louis’ 11, and containing Pastrnak while getting through the Bruins’ shot-blocking will be central to the Blues’ chances of changing their form.
