With Dalibor Dvorsky making his NHL debut last game for Blues, this would be also Dvo vs. Dvo.
I'm excited to see Dvorsky, I liked him in his draft year if Florida pick had not dropped and I enjoyed watching him in Sudbury last year, hope he has a good NHL career.
St. Louis is in the same mindset as the Habs and have arguably one of the best coaches in the game, this one will be a good test.
10 games ago, St. Louis woke up and now they're gunning 8-1-1, tied with the Kings and Avs in current power.
Dis gonna be hard!
Dis gonna be hard!
If the Habs win this game i will go out on a limb and say they are playoff bound.

Ok, so yes, St. Louis is on a 6 game winning streak, but they're on a ridiculously easy stretch of the season. During that streak they played Nashville twice, Chicago & Anaheim once, a really injured Minnesota team & Vancouver, who has no offense.
Tough to know how good they are when you're playing those teams.
In the 8-1-1, they beat LAK in a shootout then lost to them in OT. Their single loss came against Pittsburgh (3-5).
However, they did beat Washington & Colorado in February and lost in a shootout to Winnipeg.
They turned it around post 4 Nations like Montreal.
In any case, they're playing with confidence and have talent upfront & on D.
Hofer has better numbers than Binnington. They've been rotating them game in/game out, which means we get Hofer as Binnington played last game.
Hofer: 28 gp - 2.64 g/a | .905 (14 W)
Montembeault: 52 gp - 2.88 g/a | .900 (25 W)

That would be so so unfair for Struble. I mean come on! Everyone knows it has to be Savard that sits.

Really surprised by the Ghule news, I was pretty sure he wasn't to come back before the end of the season.
Struble has been playing well, sucks for him if he's the one to be punted. Should be Savard lately.

Geezus guys, he's obviously talking to Struble about training & not hey, you're out of the lineup.
Good news about Guhle. I don't expect him to play against St. Louis, but he's probably ready for the weekend game against Florida (Sunday).
Savard is the one that should come out. Guhle can take his pk spot. We'll see what happens.

100% chance it's Montembeault, he's 7-0-3 on his last 10 games.

It's been 8 weeks. That's not that fast. His skating looks good.

He also has a sub .900 sv% the past three games and has looked tired. The dude has played 52 games this season. He's never played more than 41 in his career.

Agreed and I'm expecting him to play this week, either tomorrow or against the Flyers on Thursday.
We can still worry a little that the come back might have been rushed due to the playoffs race.
I hope the evaluations have not been "tweaked" for it.
