The Blues and Canadiens have both had to battle at times as the 2019-2020 season has gotten underway. The Habs are at 1-2-1 right now, which is not how they hoped to rebound from yet another playoff miss last season. The Blues, however, are 3-0-1 and are about to be the first team in more than 20 years to get points in five straight games the season after winning the Cup.
But boy howdy, it hasn’t been easy. Opening night against the Capitals saw them let a two goal lead slip away before losing in overtime. Game two against Dallas was a see-saw, and so was game three against the high powered Maple Leafs.
