St. Louis at Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens have defied prognosticators with their 3-1-1 start to the season. Montreal was supposed to be a team sitting on the sidelines come playoff time. I still think the Canadiens will sink to the level as projected, and the quick start is more variance than a surprise. At just 1-2-2, th Blues start a road trip tonight and it may be the best thing for them getting out of St. Louis for now. The Blues have to bear down defensively as they have given up three or more goals in all five games thus far. Montreal has made a habit of defending strongly following two straight wins having played 107-73 to the UNDER next time out. Take the UNDER.
