The St. Louis Blues (38-28-7) secured their seventh consecutive win with a dominant 6-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens (33-28-9) at the Enterprise Center. Philip Broberg and Robert Thomas led the way with four-point performances each.
Jim Montgomery had a few longer answers regarding Broberg and Holloway, but this one probably resonates with all #stlblues fans: "I’m just really grateful that they’re Blues."

Jordan Kyrou opened the scoring late in the first period, threading a shot through traffic at 18:07 to put the Blues up 1-0. Montreal quickly responded just 47 seconds later, as Nick Suzuki tipped in a shot following a Blues turnover.
The home team wasted no time reclaiming the lead, with Dylan Holloway redirecting a Philip Broberg shot off the post and past goaltender Sam Montembeault with four seconds left in the period, making it 2-1.
Robert Thomas extended the lead to 3-1 just 3:21 into the second period during a 4-on-4, firing a wrist shot into the back of the net. Alexandre Texier pushed it to 4-1 at 9:09, cashing in on a rebound from a Cam Fowler shot.
Broberg struck again at 10:12 of the third, beating Montembeault with a wrist shot off his glove to make it 5-1. Montembeault was then pulled for Jakub Dobes, who finished the game in net for Montreal.
Zack Bolduc put the finishing touch on the victory at 18:02, burying a pass from Robert Thomas on the power play to seal the 6-1 win.
