ST. LOUIS — — David Pastrnak scored with 1:47 to play as the Boston Bruins scored three goals in the third period and came back for a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night.

Pastrnak’s shot from the left circle trickled through Jordan Binnington’s pads and slid just over the goal line.

Morgan Geekie and Charlie McAvoy also scored for the Bruins, who trailed 2-0 after two periods. Geekie returned to the lineup after playing the last three games as a healthy scratch.

Boston was outscored 16-5 in the third period and was 0-7-0 this season when trailing after two entered the game.

Jeremy Swayman made 20 saves as Boston won for the fourth time in the last six games.

Brayden Schenn and Oskar Sundqvist scored power-play goals in the second period for the Blues, snapping an 0-for-21 scoring drought with the man advantage on home ice to start the season.

Binnington made 27 saves as the Blues lost their third consecutive game.
