And they&#8217;ll be looking for some revenge as they face off against the one team they didn&#8217;t beat on the trip &#8211; the Boston Bruins (7 p.m. CT, FanDuel Sports Network, 101 ESPN).<\/p>\n<p>The rematch comes less than a week after St. Louis&#8217; 5-2 loss at TD Garden.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have to play much faster and we have to be much more connected,&#8221; said Head Coach Jim Montgomery on the teams&#8217; last meeting. &#8220;Boston did a much better job than we did at that. And it looked like the game was easy for them, it looked like it was really trying for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Blues did bounce back after the loss in Boston, following it up with back-to-back wins in Ottawa and Montreal over the weekend. Montgomery hopes to see his team carry over the habits from the victories into tonight&#8217;s meeting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I liked the intensity of our team, just the way we stuck together,&#8221; Montgomery said. &#8220;Penalty kill&#8217;s been excellent, goaltending&#8217;s been excellent and our sacrifice for each other has been excellent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite a rash of injuries, the Blues did receive some positive news this week on that front.
