The NHL announces an official scoring change to the Boston Bruins-St. Louis Blues game
A day after the Bruins beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 for the second straight time, the NHL made an official adjustment to the scoresheet that slightly reshapes the night's stat line.
In the third period, Fraser Minten scored his second goal of the game at 11:33, a turning-point marker that helped Boston pull away late.
Initially, the official scoring credited only David Pastrnak with an assist. But after a league review this morning, the NHL added Andrew Peeke as a secondary helper on the play.
The announcement came from NHL Public Relations, noting that the goal
«now reads Fraser Minten from David Pastrnak and Andrew Peeke.»
Even small scoring revisions can carry meaning for players fighting to build momentum. For Peeke, who has stepped into heavier minutes with Charlie McAvoy still unavailable, every point contributes to his growing role.
Minten continues to emerge as one of the Bruins' most impressive young contributors, and Pastrnak's assist adds to his strong return after missing six games.
Boston Bruins are getting depth scoring
In the bigger picture, the updated scoring change underscores the team's increasing balance.
Minten's two-goal performance was another snapshot of how Boston's young forwards are gaining confidence.
The play itself reflected what Marco Sturm has preached since camp: quick support, strong exits and layered attacks.
For the Bruins, who improved to 18-13-0 with the win, the contributions from every line have become essential while they continue to navigate injuries and heavy travel.
The scoring change will be minor in the standings, but for the players involved, it neatly captures how connected this group is becoming.
