Game Day Thread: Bruins at Blues

Tonight, the Bruins continue their roadtrip, this time through the Central Division with a visit to St. Louis. Last time these two teams played in November, Bruins captain Zdeno Chara left the game early with an injury that kept him out for 6 games.

As mentioned in this morning’s MFA, this is David Backes’ return to play against the team for which he played for 10 seasons. Because it’s a big game for him, he led the stretch after practice this morning.
