Carey Price made 38 saves for his second shutout in his last three starts and Alex Semin scored his first goal as the Canadiens beat the visiting Blues 3-0 on Tuesday night to win their team-record seventh in a row to begin the season.
Max Pacioretty and Torrey Mitchell also scored for the Canadiens, who broke the Blues’ four-game winning streak.
Price, the league’s most valuable player and top goaltender last season, has allowed only six goals in six starts. It was the 36th shutout of his career. He posted a 25-save shutout against the New York Rangers on Oct.
