3 Takeaways From the Blues’ 2-0 Loss to the Canadiens

The St. Louis Blues suffered their second consecutive shutout loss, falling 2-0 to the Montreal Canadiens at Enterprise Center. Montreal goaltender Jacob Fowler stopped all 46 shots he faced, while Zachary Bolduc scored against his former team and Florian Xhekaj tallied his first NHL goal. The defeat marked six consecutive periods without a goal for St. Louis.

The Hockey Writers highlighted three takeaways from the game: missed offensive opportunities, Fowler's decisive 46-save shutout performance, and the Blues' penalty kill successfully stopping all three Montreal power plays. Head coach Jim Montgomery pulled goaltender Jordan Binnington late in the third period, but St. Louis could not capitalize.
