Viktor Arvidsson and Alex Steeves also scored, and Elias Lindholm assisted on Boston’s first two goals. Pavel Buchnevich and Dylan Holloway scored for St. Louis. The Blues have dropped eight of their past 11 games. Jordan Binnington made 22 saves in the building where he backstopped St. Louis to a Game 7 win over Boston in the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals. The Bruins took a 2-0 lead in the first period. Coming off a two-goal game in Boston’s 5-4 loss to Detroit on Tuesday night, Steeves took a cross-ice feed from Geekie and buried a one-timer. Geekie netted his 21st goal with 6:30 left, finishing a point-blank opportunity in front of Binnington. Boston had a 5-1 advantage after two periods. St. Louis cut the deficit in half during the opening minutes when Buchnevich beat Korpisalo from the left circle. The Bruins responded behind goals from Arvidsson and Zacha, whose shot from the high slot gave Boston a three-goal lead with 7:34 remaining in the middle period. Zacha’s second goal of the game came on the power play and with two-tenths of a second left in the second period. Behind the bench for St. Louis was former Boston coach Jim Montgomery, who was fired 20 games into the 2024-25 season. The Blues hired Montgomery days after he was let go by the Bruins In his two full seasons with Boston, Montgomery led Boston to two playoff appearances and the 2023 President’s Trophy, which goes to the NHL team with the best regular-season record. The Bruins were without leading scorer David Pastrnak, who missed his fourth straight game. Up next Blues: At Ottawa on Saturday night. Bruins: Host New Jersey on Saturday night.

Police are searching for a man they say is responsible for pushing a 61-year-old woman onto train tracks at North Station Thursday. Transit police said he pushed the woman from behind, and she ended up on the tracks. They said the man is homeless and is often seen in the area. 7NEWS cameras captured the woman being put on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance. She was then taken to Massachusetts General Hospital to be checked out. 7NEWS sources said she suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Commuters said they were surprised to hear about the crime in this busy station. “I’m glad that she’s hopefully okay,” said Jeremy Karpf, an MBTA commuter. “I usually travel during rush hour and I’m not particularly concerned that I’m going to get pushed on the tracks.” Trains out of North Station were briefly delayed, but the MBTA says they are back running as scheduled.
