After a rather embarrassing performance in Boston, the St. Louis Blues had a chance for redemption just five days later as they faced the Boston Bruins at the Enterprise Center. St. Louis continued to puzzle people.
Overall, St. Louis had a pretty good first period. It was a solid period of hockey that had some good physicality, well-placed defending, and a Blues goal.
The Blues opened the scoring with a power-play goal, something that has been hit or miss all year. With the man advantage under 30 seconds to go, St. Louis went from goal line to high slot, where Robert Thomas fired a one-timer while falling and scored at 5:27.
