Blues vs Canadiens Prediction 

Montreal was able to get a nice shootout win over Toronto on Saturday night and they are looking for their third straight win here. The Canadiens are 7-6-1 at home this year, while the Blues are 5-6-3 on the road. St. Louis also won on Saturday night, so both teams are on a back to back. Neither team is very good defensively and I don’t think we are going to see the defensive efforts we saw last night. Take the over here.
