St. Louis vs Montreal Prediction 26 March 2025
🔊 Will the Blues extend their winning streak? St. Louis are not slowing down. As the regular season reaches its critical phase, the team have hit their stride with six consecutive victories. This is exactly how teams aiming for the playoffs should perform. Montreal are pulling off a similar feat in the East. For the first time in many years, the Canadian club hold the eighth spot in the conference and have promising prospects for continuing their playoff push.
Head-to-Head
In the current regular season, these teams have already clashed once. At the end of October, the Canadiens had no trouble on their home ice, thrashing their opponents 5-2. The game was decided in the third period when the visitors netted two unanswered goals. Montreal forward Jake Evans played a pivotal role in his team's success, scoring a goal and providing an assist. However, Evans' current form raises some concerns, as he has only registered points in one of his last seven games.
Head-to-head statistics St. Louis - Montreal
St. Louis Blues Team Overview
Jim Montgomery's squad once again showcases their resilience and determination to succeed. At a crucial moment when the club desperately needed points to stay in the playoff race, the Bluesmen went on an impressive six-game winning streak and achieved their goal. The club currently sits eighth in the West, but there's no time to rest on their laurels just yet. With 10 decisive games remaining, it seems increasingly likely that the home team won't let this opportunity slip away.

Montreal Canadiens Team Overview
The visitors are equally impressive. In their last 13 games, Martin St. Louis' squad has suffered just one regulation loss, when Calgary wisely shut them out (0-1). In every other instance, they've consistently managed to earn points. This remarkable run has propelled the team to the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, although they have no margin for error. Their main rivals appear to be the New Jersey Devils. The visitors face a challenging schedule ahead, including two matchups each against Florida and Carolina, which promises to be a tough test.

📌 Projected Lineups
St. Louis: Binnington - Fowler, Leddy - Neighbours, Thomas, Buchnevich
Montreal: Montembeault - Carrier, Matheson - Slafkovsky, Suzuki, Caufield
🥅 Goaltenders
St. Louis goaltender Jordan Binnington continues to mix standout performances with outright struggles. However, he manages to deliver when it counts. After a disappointing game against Vancouver (83.3%), the Canadian regrouped and "stole" the game against Nashville with a 96.9% save percentage.
Montreal's netminder Samuel Montembeault hasn't been statistically flawless lately, often falling short of the 90% save mark. Yet, the Canadian does what matters most-his saves instill confidence and belief in the team.
Editor's Prediction
This matchup holds significant importance for both teams, as each will need to give their all to maintain their spot in the playoff zone. The Blues are currently enjoying a six-game winning streak and are clearly determined to extend it further. Conversely, the Canadiens have struggled to secure victories in regulation time lately. We believe Jim Montgomery's squad will continue their successful run, and on home ice, they are at least capable of securing a draw in regulation time. Our main bet is St. Louis will not lose.
