DON Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Noon start out here, so figured early wont bother anyone. *Groundhog weekend with back to back vs Blues-Wild. Habs looking for 3rd win in last 4 games. From NHL.com: Players to watch Canadiens goalie Carey Price is one win from passing Sean Burke (324) for sole possession of 27th place on the NHL all-time list. Blues center Brayden Schenn's five-game goal streak ended on Thursday, but he has eight points (five goals, three assists) in six-game point streak. They said it "When you play the Stanley Cup champions, they're always concern that they're going to be ready, especially at home. ... We have to understand that it's going to be a tough challenge and we have to be at our best." -- Canadiens coach Claude Julien "We have to come out and have more energy than we had in Montreal. We played a soft game against Montreal in Montreal." -- Blues coach Craig Berube Canadiens projected lineup Tomas Tatar -- Phillip Danault -- Brendan Gallagher Artturi Lehkonen -- Max Domi -- Paul Byron Jonathan Drouin -- Jesperi Kotkaniemi -- Joel Armia Nick Cousins -- Nate Thompson - Nick Suzuki Victor Mete -- Shea Weber Brett Kulak -- Jeff Petry Ben Chiarot -- Cale Fleury Carey Price Keith Kinkaid Scratched: Jordan Weal, Mike Reilly, Christian Folin Injured: None Blues projected lineup Jaden Schwartz -- Brayden Schenn -- Vladimir Tarasenko Sammy Blais -- Ryan O'Reilly -- David Perron Robby Fabbri -- Tyler Bozak -- Alexander Steen Ivan Barbashev -- Oskar Sundqvist -- Robert Thomas Colton Parayko -- Alex Pietrangelo Jay Bouwmeester -- Robert Bortuzzo Vince Dunn -- Justin Faulk Jake Allen Jordan Binnington Scratched: Zach Sanford, Mackenzie MacEachern Injured: Carl Gunnarsson (lower body) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

DON Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Price is 1 shutout behind Dryden. Habs goalies will split the back-to-back starts. Will Domi look for payback on Pietrangelo cheapshot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 One lineup change for the Habs, Folin is back in for Fleury (injured). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Suzuki's goal started with Gallagher going hard at the defenseman that had lost his stick. I'd say it was a great decison by Gallagher, but we all know that it wasn't a decision... it was proclivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
