St. Louis, MO (My Sportsbook) - Rookie Blake Wheeler scored twice as the Boston Bruins doubled up the St. Louis Blues, 6-3, at the Scottrade Center.

Michael Ryder posted a goal and an assist and David Krejci collected three helpers for the Bruins, who have won five in a row and improved to 19-2-1 in their last 22 games.

Phil Kessel recorded two assists to extend his points streak to an NHL-best 18 games. The fifth overall pick in the 2006 draft, Kessel has 14 goals and 14 assists during his amazing run, which is the longest such streak by a Bruin since Adam Oates recorded points in 20 straight games from January 7 through February 20, 1997.

Manny Fernandez made 29 saves to earn his 11th win of the season.

Before the game, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli provided an update on the condition of center Patrice Bergeron, who was injured in Saturday's 4-2 win over Carolina.

"After first being treated at the TD Banknorth Garden yesterday, Patrice was diagnosed as having sustained a concussion and was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital under the care of Dr. Peter Asnis. Since being admitted to MGH, Patrice has undergone extensive testing, and all of his results have come back normal. When examined this morning, his condition had improved greatly over last night, and he was released from the hospital. There is no timetable for his return to the ice."

Bergeron missed all but 10 games last season while recovering from a severe concussion suffered in a game versus Philadelphia on October 27, 2007.

Jay McClement, Brad Winchester and Yan Stastny scored for the Blues, who have dropped six of their last seven games. Manny Legace was victimized in defeat for five goals on 23 shots and subsequently pulled in the third period. Chris Mason made five saves over the final 20 minutes.

Wheeler opened the scoring at the 2:27 mark of the first period, one-timing a feed from Krejci, and scored a short-handed tally on a fantastic individual effort at 4:59, going through three players and stuffing his own rebound.

Winchester's power-play marker put St. Louis on the board at 6:18, then McClement netted a short-handed goal, tying the score with 3:09 remaining in the first.

Hnidy lit the lamp while up a man 53 seconds later to restore the lead for Boston.

Stastny evened the score 2:46 into the middle stanza, but Ryder's power-play goal put the Bruins up for good at 9:34. P.J. Axelsson held the puck along the left boards, found a seam and slipped a cross-ice pass to Ryder, who ripped a shot past Legace.

Boston grabbed a two-goal advantage with 3:03 remaining in the second period. Milan Lucic played the puck along the wall to Kessel and he carried down the right wing. The young sniper then sent a pass to the slot for Marc Savard, who snapped a wrister over the glove of Legace.

Vladimir Sobotka added a tally in the third period for Boston.
