Montreal Canadiens vs. St. Louis Blues: Game Highlights

Binnington has 19 career shutouts. The Canadian Olympian allowed three goals or more in seven of his previous nine starts — six against Colorado in his last start.

Montreal’s Jacob Fowler stopped 17 shots.

Berggren opened the scoring midway through the first period. Otto Stenberg fed Cam Fowler coming down the slot, and Fowler faked a shot and passed to Berggren in the right circle for a one-timer.

Halfway through the second, Thomas scored his second short-handed goal of the season. Soon after the goal, Binnington stopped all six Montreal shots on a two-man advantage that lasted 1:37 with Colton Parayko and Brayden Schenn off.

The Blues' Jim Montgomery coached his 400th NHL game.

Up next Canadiens: At Dallas on Sunday.
