Blues’ Road Woes Could Spell Good News For Bruins In Game At TD Garden
Share this: The St. Louis Blues might as well be two different teams. At home, the Blues are 8-1-2 and pretty much unstoppable. They are scoring an average of 2.5 goals in those games, while allowing only 1.5 goals per contest. But the road Blues have been a different story. St. Louis is 2-5-1 away from home, and while they still are averaging 2.5 goals per game, their goals against average is 4.1 in those games. That sounds like music to the Boston Bruins’ ears, as they’ll welcome the Blues to TD Garden on Tuesday night. Hear more about the Blues’ road woes from NESN’s Dale Arnold and Billy Jaffe in the video from “Bruins Face-Off Live” above.
