Although DeBrusk had his best game in a while, his linemates Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron were held pointless. With the powerplay not scoring (again) for the eighth straight game, the Bs needed a line to dominate at five on five.
Bruce Cassidy's newest option as David Pastrnak's replacement, Curtis Lazar, along with Taylor Hall and Erik Haula, was one of Boston's best lines in the game against the Blues.
They didn't let a single shot against in 9:27 of even-strength ice time together. The line scored Boston's second goal of the game, as Hall got the goal and Haula the secondary assist. However, Hall and Haula were still on the ice when the Blues scored their second goal of the game.
