Our second game and featured game of NHL predictions has the St Louis Blues battling the Montreal Canadiens. The Blues are expected to go with Jordan Binnington in goal for this game. St Louis is 4-3-3 in the last 10 games, but has won four of its last five games entering this matchup. Robert Thomas is first on the team in assists (13) and points (17), but the Blues are near the bottom of the league in goals scored with 2.52 per game.

Sam Montembeault will likely get the start after Jakub Dobes got the victory in goal over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night. Montreal is 5-4-1 in the last 10 games, but that includes victories in five of the last seven games. The Habs are a top 10 team in goals scored, but also struggle to keep pucks out of the net. Nick Suzuki is topping the team in assists (23) and points (31).

Montreal is coming off a win over its arch-rivals the night before. However, the Canadiens should get the victory.

Prediction: Canadiens win 4-2.
