BOSTON -- David Backes will do something Tuesday night hes never done before in his 11-year NHL career.Play a game against the St. Louis Blues.The former St. Louis captain, who signed a big free-agent contract with Boston during the offseason, and his Bruins will take on the Blues, a team that has struggled on the road so far this season.Im just hoping I shoot at the right goalie. You get those familiar colors ... Backes told NHL.com, adding, Its an opportunity to play against a lot of good friends. I know probably everybody on that roster except one guy in a very close-knit way.Its going to be emotional, but I plan to just be in the moment and soak it all in and compete my butt off and try to help my team win the game, and let the rest be written as it may.St. Louis is 8-1-2 at home and 6-0-2 in the last eight, but 2-5-1 on the road and visits a team that may have finally figured out a way to win on home ice.The Bruins, whose failure to win at home cost them a playoff berth last season, started 1/3 at TD Garden but have won three straight home games -- capped by a strong performance in a 4-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night.And now Backes, who has seven points and is a plus-9 but has only one goal since opening night in Columbus, gets to play against his former team.It will be different seeing him on the other side, said goalie Jake Allen, who will start for the Blues, likely against Tuukka Rask. He was such a key part to this group and team and organization. Its tough to see him part ways but thats the way the business goes. Im sure we will say hi off the ice but well see what hes made of on the ice.The Blues hit town without the injured Alexander Steen, who will miss his third straight game with an upper body injury. David Pastrnak, who leads the Bruins with 10 goals (four more than anyone else), has missed two games with an upper body injury and is closing in on a return.Rask, just 3-1-3 lifetime but with a 2.22 goals against average and .923 save percentage lifetime against the Blues, is tied with Carey Price for the league lead in wins (11). He is second in the league with a 1.46 goals-against average and fifth with a .946 save percentage.The Bruins are 0-5 in games that Rask hasnt started this season.Allen is 2-1 but has allowed just two goals and has a .969 save percentage in three lifetime games against the Bruins. He comes in with three straight victories, yielding four goals in the three games. For the season, Allen is 8-3 with a 2.35 goals against and .910 save percentage.We need to take more pride playing on the road,Allen said. If we dont have that pride and urgency against these two teams (Boston and Washington), we are going to have our challenges.The Bruins outshot Winnipeg 38-12 in winning for the fourth time in five games Saturday night, with Rask losing a shutout with 2:40 remaining.Air Max 97 2020 Outlet . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

He also has 15 points in 16 contests.You know how good he is on his edges, you see it in practice, when he does it in games it doesnt surprise you, van Riemsdyk said. Hes good with his body position to come up with pucks and obviously hes got a good stick, too.Hes tenacious and doesnt back down from going into dirty areas.Van Riemsdyk scored 13 minutes later by carrying the puck aacross the blue line and beating Mazanec glove side with a snap shot.ddddddddddddeal scored nearly four minutes later off a cross-crease pass from Ryan Johansen, but van Riemsdyk restored the two-goal lead 7:52 into the second period. Bozak threw the puck toward the net from the corner and van Riemsdyk beat his man to deflect the puck over Mazanecs leg.Arvidsson, denied by Andersen on a great chance in the first period, finally finished one of his many opportunities with 3:51 left in the second, beating Andersen low glove side on a breakaway.Komarov scored 7:18 into the third by tipping Martin Marincins point shot, then van Riemsdyk capped his hat trick with a shot off a faceoff with 6:22 left. Nylander fired in his goal about two minutes later.Despite a lopsided score, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette thought his team deserved better.They got a quick one right off the bat, they got another one. I thought we had lots of chances to score goals, he said. They had a couple goals that were seeing-eye goals.We took as many attempts if not more but it didnt find its way through. They capitalized on their opportunities.Game notesF Peter Holland and D Connor Carrick and Frank Corrado were scratches for the Leafs. ...
