Prediction and Conclusion
The Boston Bruins are back at full speed, and they will have a chance to keep their winning streak alive tonight when the St. Louis Blues visit TD Garden. The Bruins are only one point behind the leading Florida Panthers in the East, and this will probably be the game that will take them back to the top.

Boston has won the last four against the Blues, and they will add another one tonight.
