The Bruins avoided dropping three in a row on Wednesday night in St. Louis, defeating the stingy Blues 4-2.
Milan Lucic gave the B's a 2-0 edge early in the first period by tipping home a Joe Corvo shot from the point. And although St. Louis would eventually come back to tie the game, the B's were able to recapture the lead and eventually secure the win, with Lucic's goal serving as a reminder of what Boston needs to do in order to regain its offensive groove.
Lucic showed excellent net-front presence to tip the puck past goaltender Brian Elliott, which is something the Bruins have lacked in Nathan Horton's absence, but will need to continue finding in order to be successful down the stretch.
Last Friday, despite Boston's scoring coming in a loss to Winnipeg, Jordan Caron showed off the skills that have some thinking he could eventually become an impact player. He took advantage of one of the Jets' few mistakes en route to a goal.
