Bergeron's 4 Points Help Bruins Win 3rd Straight Beating Blues 4-2

Patrice Bergeron had 4 assists helping his Boston Bruins extend their winning streak to 3 straight games for the first time this season. Bergeron needed just one more assist to tie his career best of 5 assists in a game which he set 3 years ago against the Ottawa Senators. The Bruins' win was only their 3rd in 18 games against the St Louis Blues going back to 1996-97.

The Bruins won this one with special teams, scoring 2 power play goals and adding a shorthanded goal. Mark Recchi scored his 4th at 11 minutes of the 1st period tapping in a rebound in mid-air past Blues goalie Chris Mason, and about a minute and a half later, St Louis tied it up on Keith Tkachuk's tip in on a pass from Carlo Colaiacovo. Blake Wheeler scored his 6th, a power play goal at 3:02 of the 2nd period, but then Colaiacovo tied it again with a smokin' hot shot from the point the beat Bruins' netminder Tuukka Rask at 7:37.

Milan Lucic got his 2nd of the season, assisted by defenseman Zdeno Chara which proved to be the eventual game winner, and Marco Sturm scored shorthanded to put the game out of reach at about 11 minutes into the 3rd.

Boston next plays November 25th when they visit Minnesota to take on the Wild, while St Louis also plays Wednesday when Dallas Stars host the Blues.
