Sat Nov 16 17:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Blues Seek Revenge Against Bruins in Saturday Showdown

**Boston, MA** – The St. Louis Blues (7-9-1) will look to avenge their recent loss to the Boston Bruins (8-8-2) when the two teams clash at TD Garden on Saturday at noon CT. This will be the final meeting between the clubs this season.

The Blues are coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, a game in which they led 3-2 going into the third period. Forward Brandon Saad scored twice for St. Louis, but a late power play goal for Buffalo sealed the victory. The Blues also suffered a blow when defenseman P.O. Joseph left the game with a lower-body injury, prompting the recall of Corey Schueneman from the AHL. Despite the loss, Coach Drew Bannister praised his team’s effort and improved confidence.

The Bruins, meanwhile, are reeling from a 7-2 defeat against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. While forwards Charlie Coyle and David Pastrnak scored for Boston, their defense struggled against the Stars’ potent offense. Adding to their woes, top defenseman Hampus Lindholm will miss several weeks after sustaining an injury in the previous game against the Blues. The Bruins have recalled defenseman Jordan Oesterle from the AHL to bolster their depleted blue line.

The game will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network and 101 ESPN, and can also be accessed through the Blues app. The Blues will continue their road trip with a game against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. For the Blues, Brandon Saad’s strong performance against Buffalo (two goals) will be a key factor heading into the rematch against Boston. Meanwhile, the Bruins will rely heavily on their captain, Brad Marchand, and top scorer David Pastrnak to power their offense in the absence of Lindholm.
