[December 08, 2025]
MONTREAL (AP) — St. Louis captain Brayden Schenn had two goals and an
assist and the Blues beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 on Sunday to
complete a three-game trip with their second victory in two nights.
On Saturday in Ottawa, the Blues beat the Senators 2-1. The Canadiens
also played Saturday night, winning 2-1 in a shootout at Toronto. |

Dylan Holloway scored and assisted on both of Schenn's goals.
Pavel Buchnevich also scored, and Jordan Binnington made 23
saves.
Cole Caufield scored his 16th goal of the season for Montreal to
extend his points steak to 11 games. Defensemen Lane Hutson and
Noah Dobson also scored, and Jakub Dobes stopped 14 shots.
Dobes was pressed into action after playing Saturday. Sam
Montembeault, the expected starter Sunday, was ruled out two
hours before the game because of an illness. Kaapo Kahkonen was
called up from Laval of the American Hockey League to back up
Dobes.
Schenn opened the scoring on a power play after a deflection
from Cam Fowler’s point shot landed on his stick at 8:57 in the
first.
Hutson tied it with a highlight-reel deke to the backhand with
7:40 left in the first, and Caufield put the Canadiens ahead
with 57 seconds remaining in the period.
The Blues scored twice 1:05 into the second — and 39 seconds
apart — to take the lead. Holloway finished off a rush, then
Robert Thomas set up a wide-open Buchnevich.
In the third, Schenn, off a feed from Holloway on a 2-on-1, made
it 4-2 with 9:36 left. Dobson scored with the extra attacker
with 3:45 to go.

Blues: Host Boston on Tuesday night.
Canadiens: Host Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
