Boston Bruins: Top 5 games to get pumped up about in October

October 26th: versus St. Louis Blues
Boston welcomes the Blues in a game that will certainly bring up some bad memories. This will be the first time the teams meet since last year’s heartbreaking Game 7.
This game will be emotional, but it will teach us a lot about Boston’s mental state as we move through the season. Will the Boston Bruins be able to move past last year’s demons? A dominant victory against the Blues won’t change last year, but it can springboard the team this year.
Beyond that, keep a close eye on Boston’s top line against St. Louis’s defense. The Bergeron line couldn’t generate much offense in the series last year. Marchand and Pastrnak struggled with the physical play and only accounted for three goals.
Maybe by this point Bruce Cassidy will break up the top line and put Pastrnak with Krejci and Jake DeBrusk. This could spread out the offense and give Boston two consistent scoring lines.
The October 26 game against the Blues is the first night of a back-to-back, but expect Rask to get the nod in net.

October is always one of the most exciting months of the year and looking at the Boston Bruins’ schedule, it’s certainly shaping up to be one that gives us a telling insight.
