The NHL-leading Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues had been cruising along before getting shut out in their last game. Both teams will try to bounce back Thursday night in Montreal, where St. Louis has won six of seven. You can listen to the action on TSN Radio 690 Montreal starting at 6pm et/3pm pt. The Canadiens (14-5-1) outscored opponents 23-7 during a six-game winning streak before falling 4-0 to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Montreal went 0 for 3 on the power play and Carey Price stopped just 18 shots in his worst display of the season. The Canadiens have been outscored 28-5 in their defeats. After winning six straight games, I think the Pittsburgh game was a reality check, forward Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau told the teams official website. We made a few mental mistakes and missed out on some details. We didnt skate as well as we have in other games. The forecheck was the key to our success in the games that wed won. We were lacking in those departments. We need to get back to that for the Blues. St. Louis (12-5-1) had won three in row and 10 of 11 before opening a four-game road trip with Tuesdays 2-0 loss to Boston. The Blues outshot the Bruins 33-17 - including 15-3 over the final 20 minutes - but couldnt get anything past Tuukka Rask. We make our own luck, we have to put more in to get more out, forward David Backes told the leagues official website. We are not going to make excuses, we need to bring a little bit more to earn those spaces to get to loose pucks and find a way to whack a few in. Although the Blues were held in check Tuesday, Montreal is expecting to get their best shot. St. Louis is allowing an NHL-low 1.89 goals per contest. Theyre a team that skates a lot, and they have a lot of talent in that group. They have excellent defensemen. Theyre a complete team, so well have to be ready. Its a big test for us, Parenteau said. When you get blanked like St. Louis did, you rebound. Thats the way things work in this league. Im expecting a very competitive game. The Canadiens have had their hands full with the Blues over the years. St. Louis has taken five straight in the series by an 18-7 margin and is 10-2-1 since 2000, including 6-1-0 in Montreal. Alexander Steen scored twice in a 5-1 victory Dec. 19, giving him four goals and an assist over a three-game stretch against the Canadiens. Montreal will also need to be wary of emerging star Vladimir Tarasenko, who leads the Blues with 21 points despite coming up empty in back-to-back games. Max Pacioretty has notched a team-high 16 points for Montreal, 13 of which have come at home. Hes one of 10 Canadiens with at least eight points. Thats going to be key here, Montreal forward Dale Weise said. The only way you can stay a top team in this league is with consistent scoring from everybody. Price is 8-3-0 with a 2.45 goals-against average at home. Hes compiled a 3.31 GAA while starting each of Montreals last five games against St. Louis. The Blues are expected to turn to Jake Allen for his first appearance in the series. The second-year goalie, 5-1-0 with a league-leading 1.67 GAA, has allowed one goal total in winning two road starts. Cheap Nike Shoes Wholesale .
