The Habs escaped California with just two points, but find themselves poised to end their road trip with a winning record. Now 2-2-0 on this road trip, the Canadiens are in St. Louis with the task of overcoming one the NHL’s best teams, and they’ll have to do so without Alex Galchenyuk who is out indefinitely after injuring his knee in Sunday’s win over the Kings.
While how long Galchenyuk will be out remains a mystery, who will be replacing him on the top line tonight is also somewhat shrouded in secrecy. Some reports suggest that David Desharnais will start between Max Pacioretty and Alex Radulov.
