Matchup Breakdown

St. Louis Blues Outlook

St. Louis rebounded from its loss in Boston with wins over Ottawa and Montreal. Injuries to Jimmy Snuggerud, Nathan Walker, Alexey Toropchenko, and Jordan Kyrou have forced lineup shuffling, but Brayden Schenn has emphasized team effort. Pavel Buchnevich and Dylan Holloway have picked up their scoring pace, helping the Blues stay competitive despite missing key forwards.

Boston Bruins Outlook

Boston continues to ride Morgan Geekie’s hot streak, with 22 goals in 30 games. Pavel Zacha and Viktor Arvidsson also contributed in the earlier win over St. Louis, while Joonas Korpisalo made 37 saves. The Bruins have won two straight, including a 4-1 victory over New Jersey, and remain one of the league’s most balanced teams offensively and defensively.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

Geekie’s scoring surge against St. Louis’ injury-depleted forward group is the key storyline. The Blues must limit Boston’s top scorers and rely on depth contributions, while the Bruins look to continue their offensive rhythm and capitalize on defensive breakdowns.
