NHL Highlights | Bruins vs. Blues – December 9, 2025

Marco Sturm in his first year with the Boston Bruins. Also played for the Bees as a player not so long ago. Yeah, he had 14 points in 34 games in his career against the Blues. Marco Stern. There’s the opening face off with Blues get it into the offensive zone. Joseph right on and Swayman will make the save on the Puins right away. A little bit of a cluster here in the Diesel. Watch Braden Shen takes it to the net and a quick little backhand to Matt Joseph and avoids a good heavy check from Mayu gets back into the play up to the near point. Zidorov holds it in with a lot of traffic. There’s a shot over the save. The puck out of play. There’s a Zidorov shot from the outside. Yeah, looked like it didn’t get tipped anything down into the corner but his momentum ran him right into two Bruins players. Blocks it. Sunquist there and they hold it in. Justin Faul. Two power play goals on the year for Justin. Here’s Thomas to the goal line. Butch Navic to Thomas. Score falling to his knees. Robert Thomas with a slap shot in. Power play goal. One- nothing Blues. 527 into the first period on the Berto Robo Cam. This is going to be Thomas’s goal. But what a crafty play here by Pablo Buch. He’s going to get this puck. He’s going to look across the crease. He wants to go back door to Sunquist and D’vorski. You’re going to see him right here. Right there. Yep. Right. Right here. We’re going to see it right here. Boo. Look at him. Look. He’s looking at D’vorski. That’s where he wants to go. Boston cuts it down. Close it off. Okay. What’s option number two? Go right back to Thomas. Middlestat had a man in front. They come across this Steve. He turned over now. The speed of Joseph. Mayu joins out of the box. Joseph fires and it’s off the post. You’re going to see Buchad right here. Watch Joseph. One hand on the stick. That’s how they teach the kids. If you want to go fast forward, one hand, pump, pump, pump. He goes full throttle and then watch two hand. And watch this one little crossover. That little linear crossover is just an extra step that separates himself from the rest of the group as the Blues get it around mid. It’s Robert Thomas through the neutral zone right in the middle. Pero wrist shot on. Glove save. swaying. So watch Colton Perico. He’s a net front D. He’s going to put it in full throttle to join Robert Thomas. Three on three. That turns into a four on three. Asam. He’ll come in to take the face off for Sunquist. Lock forced it away. Backhander on. Chance back to the middle. Denied by Swayman. Call face off ready. He jumps. Look at the stick right there. Gets it. Coming. Coming. Backhand. I like that chance. tries going through the five hole. Follows up with another opportunity there. There’s Nick Bugstad in the penalty box. He was penalized for high sticking. Blues win the opening draw. They’re going to send the first puck down into the Boston zone. Actually a crazy story. His father Craig, he played men’s league with Pat Balloon who played in the league for almost 600 games. When he was playing in the men’s league with him, he ended up always taking his Sherwood sticks home. when he blocked it off the right foot. Here’s Castellic here. Shot through traffic. Bobbling puck goes right. Turn into the check. Nice play by Pete to get to it, but the Blues get it back to Neighbors. Far circle wires it and a save made by Swayman. Winner right there and Jordan Bennington. Yeah, it was great effort by Logan Mayu. Look at the stride. Pump pump go stick right through the defender that keeps the puck alive. That’s a heck of a play by young Logan Mayu. and the time and space and Pavo Bush Navico’s going to snap it along the wall and the Bruins will knock it down. Clear it ahead. Partial break. Postern caught saved by Huler. No penalty by Post. He’s going to take off in the diesel. Watch Broberg. He gets the handbound just a little bit, but he releases. That’s such a smart play. The puck brought over the line far wing again. Foster knock on the backand shot blocked off of Holloway. Mitten again. Now that’s poked away there by Mayu. Loose in front and the Bruins find the back of the net. Break through in the second. Minton scores 1-1 with 712 to go. Deep off the ice. Here it is on the Brito Robo Cam. You can see the straight legs. You can see they’re about out of gas. They’re having a rough time battling. Long stick. Look at Cam Fowler. Doesn’t have much fight left because he’s been out there for almost two minutes. And then Mitten on the back door. He’s going to start with a behind the net. He’s going to kind of do a full 360 circle. Right spot at the right time and tucks it in the empty net and puck coming up. Fair point. Bloom over the line. Found near side. Pass to look. Look for options. Sunquist checks him. Jano far wing. Five and a half to go. Back to Sodblum into traffic. They score. It goes through the screen. deflected maybe in front by Carali. Just like that, Boston’s taking a two to one lead. And then you’re going to see Jano making a heck of a play. It’s going to go around this way. It’s going to go back around the horn the other way. Now watch Tanner Jano. He’s going to absorb the hit and then he’s going to deliver it to the defender and then it’s going to get through. That little bump by Jano. You see him there with Kasamaki allows a shot from the outside. There’s Cari. Look at that little forehand tip. It goes from about three feet in the air. It drops like a heartbeat and it goes right between the legs. It comes with a consequence. Oh, good hit there. Good hard check by Jake. Crunch. Now Butch Navage wins the puck. Shoots it. Save. Rebound by Jake. Hit the post. No. And only down by one. Only 13 shots on goal. 11 in the first, two in the second. Now they did change it. So 10 and three. loser going to dump the puck in. They get it to the middle. Chipping it to the net. Sutorman got a piece. There’s Fowler and Pareo on that last pairing. Montgomery will shorten that bench as Nadino drags it in. Loose puck. Oh, and it hit a stick of Bro and deflects back to the near wing at one end. I thought it was Bro. It was actually the paddle of Joel Hoer right there. He gets a piece of it. Keeps Mitten away from the back of the net. Here’s a perfect overview. Watch the paddle of Hoper. There’s the save number one. To the far wing it goes and Butch Navich finds Thomas to center ice. Well, can the Blues take advantage of it? They dump it in. First touch is going and it’s stripped by Butch Navas. They do. They score. They tie the game. Broberg on the back end. Butch Navas and Thomas on the other end and the St. Louis Blues have tied it 2-2. Thomas is second of the game. One end I thought it was Brober. It was actually the paddle of Joel Hoffer right there. He gets a piece of it. Keeps Mitten away from the back of the net. Here’s a perfect overview. Watch the paddle of Hoer. There’s the save number one. This is a 2-1 game. Moments later, a for check by Paul Bush Navage. He throws it right in front. What a pass by Bush Neavage. And then Robert Thomas scoops in a shoot and then the point right at Pava. He knows who to thank on that one. Cleared out to Tanner Jano in a two- two game. They deflected into the Blues end. Back behind the goal. Boston. Nearly had it. But a good play by D’vorki. It comes loose to the Zorov. Look out into traffic. It’s loose in front. They score. I don’t know if that puck hit the hand or just the chest of the Boston forward Carali, but a failed clear from behind the net has given Boston a 3-2 lead. It’s a shot from Zidorov. He’s going to find the body of Corali on the back door. Hits him right in the chest. Go. Oh yeah, right on the armpit. I don’t see a hand pass motion. Jim Montgomery is taking his time with it by the bench. Castellix’s going to clean up the rebound. I don’t see enough right there, Kirbs. I don’t see enough. Here’s the shot. Another angle from the backside. Looks like it clips him right on that right armpit. I don’t see a kind of a hand motion there. And then this physical Nadino going back in behind the net and it’s coming back to the near side. Diving forward was Minton trying to draw the penalty. He didn’t get it. Here’s a launch shot. Oo, that one hit off the post. Comes into the slot. They score. Minton puts it in. his second of the game and it’s now 42 with 827 to go in the third. He’s going to throw it to the middle. Then watch the way he jumps. Mitten with a bobbling puck. This is like a change up for Joel Hoer. It’s point blank slap shot just skipped and popped right over his blade. Trying to clear Swayman couldn’t. Blue suitor shooting. It’s blocked. Second one. Swayman with a save. I don’t think they’re speaking French. 158 to go here in the third. Boston clears it out. Foster knocked to the empty net. Off the post it goes. Come on, fellas. Make it pay. Maybe that’s the bounce. Comes back to the Bruins on the near wing to Zaka. He scores. 5-2 Boston. 141 to go in the third. Here with the bow for the Boston Bruins. David Posak. He misses the empty net. Look at the hunt. See how he stops on that play. I mean, this is what he does. Third assist of the game for David Poster. It’s the chemistry. It’s just not there, right? I You form chemistry by, you know, playing together. It’s the togetherness through a consistent stretch of games.

Fraser Minten and Mark Kastelic scored two goals each, as three unanswered goals in the third period helped the Boston Bruins earn a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Blues.
