Zacha Scores Twice, Korpisalo Makes 37 Saves in Bruins' 5-2 Win over Blues
Montgomery returns to face his former team after a year, following a record-setting season and firing; his Blues begin a three-game road trip including Ottawa and Montreal.
- On Thursday, former Bruins coach Jim Montgomery returns to Boston with the St. Louis Blues to face the Bruins, answering questions from Boston reporters ahead of the game.
- Montgomery had previously led Boston Bruins to a 65-win, record-setting 2022-23 season and won the Jack Adams Trophy but was fired last year after a slow start 20 games into the 2024-25 season.
- The scoreboard showed a 5-1 Boston Bruins edge after two periods as Alex Steeves scored and Morgan Geekie had a goal and two assists, with Paval Zacha scoring twice and Joonas Korpisalo making 37 saves in the 5-2 win over St. Louis Blues on Thursday.

- The hire initially propelled St. Louis Blues into the playoffs, including a Game 7 loss in double overtime, but they have dropped eight of their last 11 games and face Linus Ullmark in Ottawa on Saturday and the Canadiens on Sunday.
