Tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET, the St. Louis Blues (14-3-3, 31 points) and Boston Bruins (14-6-1, 29 points) faceoff live from the TD Garden in Boston in the first of two meetings against each other this season. The game can be live streamed here. St. Louis fans can hear all the action by tuning their radios to KMOX 1120 while Boston fans can do the same on WBZ-FM 98.5 The Sports Hub.
St. Louis is chasing first place in the Central Division, a division in which two points separate four teams while the defending Eastern Conference champion Bruins head into the game in first place in the Atlantic Division.
The Blues defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-1 on Tuesday and Brenden Morrow scored his first multi-goal game with the Bruins.
"I've scored some pretty big goals over the years," Morrow told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Wednesday. "Every part of hockey is fun, but there's nothing more enjoyable than scoring goals. Everyone wants to score goals and it feels good and I don't think that's something that I've lost over the years."
The Bruins kick off a three-game homestand after defeating the New York Rangers on the road Tuesday 2-1. Tuukka Rask stopped 43 shots while allowing just one goal in the victory. He's started 18 of 21 games for Boston this season and is 12-5-1 with a 1.61 goals-against average and a .946 save percentage.
"When you're out there, you don't really expect a goal to go in. You just know how good he is," defenseman Dougie Hamilton said, according to NHL.com. "You know if there's a shot, he's probably going to save it."
The Blues counter with Jaroslav Halak, who is a solid 11-3-2 with a 2.38 GAA and a .903 save percentage.
Halak will look to stymie a Boston unit led by Milan Lucic (nine goals, seven assists) and David Krejci (three goals, 13 assists) while Reilly Smith has lit the lamp three times and added 10 helpers for 13 points.
Alex Steen has paced St. Louis with 17 goals and nine assists for 26 points while David Backes has 20 points off of eight tallies and 12 helpers and T.J. Oshie has found the back of the net three times and added 15 assists for 18 points.
The Blues look to keep pace in their tight division race while the Bruins want to stay on top of their division and start the homestand out on a positive note when the puck drops tonight in Boston.
