Canadiens vs. Blues game recap: Singing the Blues

The first minute of last night’s game between the Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues had a tentative feel with both clubs trying to ease into the game safely. Montreal’s first sustained possession came with a scoring opportunity, when Andrew Shaw tipped a Jeff Petry shot, but the deflection missed the net, ending the rush for the Habs.

Nearing the 15-minute mark, Carey Price was forced to make a sharp save on Vladimir Sobotka when the Blues’ forward created a turnover and quickly snapped a wrist shot on an unsuspecting Price.
