In a closely contested NHL game at the Enterprise Center, Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins scored at 5:02, marking his 900th career point and putting the Bruins up 1-0 against the St. Louis Blues. Despite being loudly booed, Marchand's goal was confirmed after a challenge for offside by Boston and a review. Kevin Hayes of the Blues answered 1:05 later to tie the game at 1-1, but his goal was later disallowed for being offside. The game showcased strong performances, including two big saves by Blues' goalie Jordan Binnington, Kapanen's speed leading to an assist on Hayes' no-goal, and notable defensive plays by Phil Kessel and Scott Perunovich. Marchand's milestone achievement makes him the fifth player in Bruins history to reach 900 points, highlighting his remarkable career.

Prior to the Hayes no-goal, excellent stick by Kessel to prevent an odd-man break in and potential shot. This kid understands the game. And Perunovich terrific stretch pass is wiped out. #stlblues
No goal, after officials see that Hayes was offside when receiving the puck. #stlblues
After review, no goal. #stlblues
That's coming back. #stlblues
Boston challenging offside. #stlblues
Marchy's milestone marker 👏 https://t.co/ViBC7nr2Lv
So ... Marchand scores for his 900th point at 5:02, Hayes answers 1:05 later to knot things up at 1. #stlblues #nhlbruins
Raise your hand if you had Brad Marchand getting 900 points in the NHL when he entered the NHL. Yeah, me neither. The #NHLBruins captain has had an amazing career and proved so many doubters and haters wrong. Congrats to him. @BOSHockeyNow https://t.co/PMeo7cR62S
Speed by Kapanen to gain an edge around the right side, behind the net, crisp feed to Hayes for the one-timer. #stlblues https://t.co/BEZ8AutAkm
Marchand loudly booed as he puts the Bruins up 1-0. #stlblues
Jordan Binnington makes a great save on a Jake DeBrusk rebound of a Brad Marchand shot, but puck finds Marchand in front after Charlie Coyle turns it over behind the St. Louis net and Marchand roofs one in tight. Bruins up 1-0 on Marchand's 900th NHL point
FOR REAL THIS TIME. With his game-opening goal, The Captain becomes the fifth player in #NHLBruins history with 900 points. Congrats, Marchy! 👏 https://t.co/U3EYANx82T
