The St. Louis Blues have a chance to tie their season’s longest win streak tonight. In their way stands the Montreal Canadiens, the leading team in the Atlantic Division.
The Blues may not have to worry about where Montreal stands, but they are currently better off than St. Louis. The Canadiens are nine points ahead of the Blues, but they have not been at their best lately.
Montreal had lost four in a row before beating Arizona on Thursday. They have lost six of their last nine as well.
Scoring has suddenly become a rather big issue too.
