Canadiens’ special teams key in beating Blues 5-2
MONTREAL — Cole Caufield continued his red-hot start to the season and Kirby Dach scored for the first time in almost a year-and a half as the Montreal Canadiens beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Saturday evening.
Montreal jumped out to a 2-0 lead through Jake Evans and Dach before the Blues bounced back to tie it on goals from Colton Parayko and Jake Neighbours.
Alex Newhook and Caufield’s goals at the end of the second period and the beginning of the third put the Canadiens in control and Joel Armia added another into an empty net to put the game out of reach.
