When the Buffalo Sabres face the St. Louis Blues at KeyBank Center on Thursday (starting at 7:30 PM ET), Tage Thompson and Jordan Kyrou should be among the best players to watch. See below to read more about Sabres vs. Blues leaders, insights, and a predicted winner.

The Sabres welcome the St. Louis Blues to KeyBank Center Thursday night. Devon Levi gets the start in net for Buffalo. Jordan Binnington goes for the Blues.

The Bruins went into the third period down 2-0 but they got one back at 4:53 from Morgan Geekie, back in the lineup after three straight healthy scratches. David Pastrnak stole the puck from Colton Parayko in the neutral and took off with Geekie on an odd-man rush. Geekie took Pastrnak’s pass and beat Jordan Binnington to the blocker side.

The Boston Bruins had a huge comeback win over the Blues on Tuesday night, a win the team believes will give them a spark they desperately needed.
