The St. Louis Blues battled through a hard win over the Vegas Golden Knights, with the puck dropping just 26 hours prior to a matchup with the Montreal Canadiens. Would the Blues show up or would it be that other thing that wears their jerseys, but doesn't really play pro hockey?
Well, for once, the Blues managed to get off to a pretty good start. They had some early jump and were actually creating some chances instead of simply hoping to survive the first five minutes or so.
St. Louis broke through with the first goal of the game as well.
