The Boston Bruins are enjoying a solid bounce-back campaign after a last-place finish in the Atlantic Division last year, and their next test is a home bout with the St. Louis Blues on Thursday, Dec. 4. St. Louis is looking to get on a roll after a slow start to this season, which comes on the heels of a late surge into the playoffs a year ago, where they pushed Winnipeg to seven games in the first round. Both the Blues and Bruins are coming off losses, and St. Louis is 3-3-4 over its last 10 while Boston is 4-6 over that same stretch.

Blues vs. Bruins preview

On one hand, this game has the potential to be high-scoring, as Boston is 21st in goals allowed per game at 3.25, and St. Louis is 27th at 3.44. On the other hand, the Blues are just 30th in goals per game at 2.56, while the Bruins are 14th at 3.04 per contest. St. Louis netminder Jordan Binnington has been one of the more capable goalies in the league for quite a while, but he's in the midst of his worst season to date with a career-low .878 save percentage as well as 3.20 goals allowed per game. The Blues' leading scorer is Robert Thomas, who has 17 points. For Boston, the duo of David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie has been formidable, with both having at least 28 points on the year, with each ranking in the top 30 in the NHL to date. 

The Blues are -137 money line favorites, per the latest SportsLine consensus odds. The Bruins are +115 underdogs on home ice.
