St Louis Blues (2-0-0) at Montreal Canadiens (3-0-0)

The Canadiens will get a pretty good test as we face the St Louis Blues at the Bell Center. Montreal put a lot of shot on the board so far this season, averaging 36 per game, but I am sure they would like to see shots given up averaging 30 per game.

St Louis has been tight defensively, they have only given up 2 goals in 2 games holding the opposition to just 17 shots per game.

St Louis will start G Bennie Thornton, he has 2 wins and a 1.00 GAA with a .941 save % in 2 games. Thornton had 37 wins last year with a 2.13 GAA and a .911 save %. Montreal goes with G Wilf Nestor, he has 2 wins with a 2.40 GAA and a .924 save %.

It was a pretty even 1st period, but Montreal did break the ice with a goal at 16:10 of the period to make it 1-0. C Riley Callander got his 2nd of the year on the PP. The shots finished even at 10-10.

Montreal grabbed the momentum early in the 2nd and held it throughout most of the period, finally at 18:12 of the 2nd they were able to score to make it 2-0. RD Kevin Steinberg gets his 1st of the year. Montreal out shot St Louis 20 to 5 in the 2nd.

Like the 2nd period, Montreal carried the play in the 3rd. Despite that, St Louis got within 1 when RW Steve Tindle gets his 1st of the season at 13:24 on the PP to make it 2-1. The Blues did get G Bennie Thornton out for an extra attacker in the final 10 seconds but Montreal held on. Montreal out shot St Louis 10 to 7 in the 3rd making the totals 40 to 22 in favour of the Canadiens. St Louis was 1 for 4 on the PP while Montreal was 1 for 3.

Montreal's RD Kevin Steinberg was named the 1st star with his goal, 2 hits in 15:24 of ice time. The 26 year old now has 1 goal and 1 point in 2 games. Last year he had 1 goal and 5 points in 25 games.
