Next Saturday night’s NHL schedule will bring very unusual kickoff times for the Western Conference teams, but that shouldn’t stop the St. Louis Blues from keeping the momentum they built during their most recent 4-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. However, they will face another very competitive team like the Montreal Canadiens, so it makes sense that the bookies’ odds haven’t made them favorites to win.
In this matter, it’s worth noting that the Montreal Canadiens have a two-game winning streak over two of the contenders to battle for the Eastern Conference’s championship, like the Florida Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes. With this in mind, securing a victory in this game would provide them with a clear chance to climb to the top spot of the conference, as they currently are just two points behind the Detroit Red Wings.
In the St. Louis Blues’ case, they were able to end a two-game losing streak with their aforementioned victory over the Golden Knights, but it cannot be ignored that they are the team that has played the highest number of games in the Western Conference so far in the regular season, along with the Minnesota Wild. Taking this into account, this will be a must-win game, so Pavel Buchnevich and Justin Faulk are expected to keep as effective as they were against the Golden Knights.

Our St. Louis Blues vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction
When looking at these teams, it’s clear that both teams’ expectations differ very much due to the lack of offensive effectiveness that the St. Louis Blue have faced this season, it being very difficult for them to find a playoff spot by the end of the regular season.
Whereas, the Montreal Canadiens are expected to keep competing for the top spot of the Eastern Conference, but they should increase their scoring ratio to avoid the exhaustion of playing frequent overtime games. Therefore, the pick for the Montreal Canadiens – St. Louis Blues is: Total Goals in the 1st Period – Over 1.5!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
