David Backes scored against his old team and made history for his new team all at the same time.
Appearing in his first game against the St. Louis Blues as a member of the Boston Bruins - with whom he signed as a free agent in the offseason - Backes jammed home a rebound past Jake Allen for his fourth goal of the season.
The goal was also a milestone for the Bruins organization:
