Montréal carries a two-game streak and a three-point standings edge into St. Louis.
Montréal arrives at Enterprise Center with 14 points and a 6-3-2 record through 11 games, three points ahead of the Blues at 5-5-1. The Canadiens are 3-2 over their last five and have won two straight; St. Louis is 2-3 in its last five and coming off a 4-0 loss to Carolina. Nick Suzuki leads Montréal with 12 points in nine games, while Dylan Holloway and Mason McTavish pace the Blues with 10 apiece through 11. St. Louis must contain Suzuki and turn its own scoring leaders into an answer if it is to close the standings gap.
