BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins entered the third period of Tuesday night's game against the St. Louis Blues trailing 2-0. But they didn't hang their heads and think back to that shot-less third period that doomed them Saturday night in an overtime loss to the ...

A small sense of panic has begun to stir among the Boston media and the Bruins faithful, a panic that is not unfounded but may not yet be warranted.

The Bruins earned their best win of the season with a third period comeback vs. the Blues. Can this result serve as a turning point for Boston?

Brayden Schenn and Oskar Sundqvist scored, and Binnington made 27 saves for the Blues (7-9-0), have lost three in a row and ended a season-long five-game homestand 2-3-0. St. Louis was 5-0-0 when leading after two periods.

Boston will now look to build on that momentum in Dallas. The Bruins lost to the Stars, 5-2, at TD Garden on Oct. 24.

Brayden Schenn and Oskar Sundqvist scored, and Binnington made 27 saves for the Blues (7-9-0), have lost three in a row and ended a season-long five-game homestand 2-3-0. St. Louis was 5-0-0 when leading after two periods.

What makes this win so encouraging for the Bruins is their players in significant roles stepped up when they needed it most. Morgan Geekie, who played on the first line, scored his first goal of the season to start the comeback.

A win over a fragile St. Louis Blues team may not be a big deal for a team with high expectations. But for where the Bruins are right now, the manner in which they won on Tuesday in St. Louis could be a good start for them to get to where they want to go.
