LIVE COVERAGE
6:46: Blues win in a shootout, 2-1. Bruins finish with 9 points out of a possible 10 on their road trip.
6:36: Good lord, Rask. We move to a shootout.
6:31: Bruins open overtime with Coyle-Kuraly / McAvoy
6:28: On to overtime — Bruins extend their point streak to 13 straight games.
6:16: Carlo to the box for a trip. Bruins to the PK with 8:03 left.
6:14: Great play by Miller to break up a 2-on-1.
6:11: Ice continuing to tilt in Boston's favor. Good shifts continue for the Coyle line.
5:50: I miss anything good? Chris Wagner continues to be a great signing and other than the Cehlarik turnover, the third line is looking much much better.
4:21: A brutal line change and turnover allows St. Louis to score on their first shot of the game. 1-0 Blues off of Steen's snipe. Not a good play by Cehlarik.
4:16: Bruins have a tough nut to crack in Binnington in net, but a couple of solid shifts from the Acciari and Coyle lines so far.
4:05: Looking forward to seeing how Coyle fares on that third line. It's a heavy group with Cehlarik and Backes on the wing. We'll see how they fare against a red-hot Blues team.
12:40: Just a quick programming note - live coverage might be on and off for the first period or two tonight. Will be flying back from Vegas (a whopping 3 inches of snow canceled all of my flights for two days), so I'll be up in the air. Still, I'll be back before the game goes final.
