St. Louis Blues vs. Montreal Canadiens preview

The red-hot St. Louis Blues, riding a six-game winning streak, host the Montreal Canadiens in what's shaping up to be a classic offense-versus-defense showdown at Enterprise Center.

Montreal's dynamic duo of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield have been lighting up the scoreboard, combining for an impressive 133 points this season, but they'll face their toughest test yet against a Blues defense that's been absolutely stingy, giving up just nine goals in their last six outings.

Blues netminder Joel Hofer has been a wall between the pipes lately, while the defensive pairing of Parayko and Suter has given opposing forwards nightmares in their own end.

The Canadiens' offensive firepower extends beyond their top line, with rookie Lane Hutson making waves from the blue line and contributing to their 3.01 goals per game average.

St. Louis's Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas have been carrying the offensive load for the Blues, but it's their lockdown defense, allowing just 2.88 goals per game, that's been the real story of their season.

Both teams are clinging to wild card spots in their respective conferences, making this cross-conference matchup feel more like a playoff game than a regular season tilt.

The Enterprise Center crowd should be in for a treat as these two Original Six rivals face off in what's likely to be a chess match between Montreal's high-flying offense and the Blues' suffocating defensive system.
