The Blues will be looking for their fourth consecutive win and their 11th win in 12 games in this one, while the Bruins will be looking to pick up their sixth consecutive victory on home ice.
The Blues can thank their top line for a lot of that success. Jaden Schwartz, Jori Lehtera, and Vladimir Tarasenko have been terrific of late, with the team’s “STL” line combining for 33 points over the team’s last eight games.

Schwartz has picked up 10 points over the course of his six-game point streak, and Lehtera has 11 points in a seven-game point streak. Tarasenko’s point streak was snapped in the team’s last game, a 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday.
Blues goaltender Brian Elliott stopped 24 of the 25 shots he faced in the game to pick up his seventh win in eight starts. Elliott has a 1.87 GAA for the season.
The Bruins counter with Tuukka Rask, who is 1-0-3 with a 1.90 GAA in four career starts against the Blues.
Rask stopped 33 shots in the team’s last game, a 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday which snapped an 0-2 road trip that saw the team get outscored 11-2 in losses to division rivals the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens.

The Bruins could get a boost in this one with the return of center David Krejci, who missed his fourth game in a row the last time out with an undisclosed injury, but he was able to get a practice session in on Monday.
The team also hopes to get back defenseman Kevan Miller back from an upper-body injury which has kept him out of the lineup since Oct. 18.
He’ll be a game-time decision.
