Montreal at St. Louis

The Canadiens rank 23rd defensively and have spotty goaltending. But Montreal can score. Only six teams average more than the Canadiens' 3.3 goals per game. Montreal defeated Carolina, 7-5, on the road in their last game two days ago. It was the fourth time in the previous five games that a Montreal total has gone OVER. The Canadiens have been good for at least four goals in eight of their last 11 games. The Blues rank 29th defensively. They upset the Golden Knights at home, 4-3, on Friday, but remain a colossal disappointment this season with a below .500 record. St. Louis is permitting an average of 3.8 goals a game during its last five games. The Canadiens have been outstanding on the road with a 12-3-5 record. Take the Canadiens and the OVER.
