Bruins Rally to 5-2 Win Over Blues

ST. LOUIS — The Boston Bruins rallied from an early deficit to defeat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Tuesday night at Enterprise Center, extending their winning streak to three games and securing their second victory over the Blues in five days.

Mark Kastelic and Fraser Minten each scored twice for Boston, providing the offensive spark in a comeback effort. Pavel Zacha added an empty-net goal to seal the win, while David Pastrnak recorded two assists in his return to the lineup after missing five games with an undisclosed injury. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman stopped 24 shots to anchor the Bruins' defense.

The Blues struck first when Robert Thomas converted a power-play goal 5:27 into the opening period, putting St. Louis ahead 1-0. Boston responded aggressively in the second, outshooting the Blues and flipping the script with goals 1:44 apart. Minten evened the score at 7:12 with a wrist shot from the slot, and Kastelic tipped a Victor Soderstrom slap shot past Blues goaltender Joel Hofer at 5:26 to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead. Hofer finished with 26 saves, but early pressure from Boston included shots from Morgan Geekie and Kastelic that rang off the iron.
