The coaches are in mid-season form with the platitudes.  

 

Kinda strange to have this Superbowl-weekend schedule in October, might be an advantage to be the road team in this situation.  Feels like St. Louis should put up a stronger effort than they did last time, but maybe they're sticking with what works for them and aiming for last place in January.

Price is 1 shutout behind Dryden.

Habs goalies will split the back-to-back starts.

Will Domi look for payback on Pietrangelo cheapshot?

We know he will, but I wish he wouldn't.

Overplay Weber. Go ahead.  We got options. 


The key is to use those options instead of Weber taking all the shots. They did, and Drouin picked up a nice PPG. Good work!
