St. Louis Blues Notes:

The Blues saw changes in the lineup in a 5-1 win over Toronto with Oskar Sundqvist taking the ice in a game for the first time this season. Sundqvist had been out since March after suffering a torn ACL and undergoing surgery. Additionally, the Blues were without Robert Thomas after announcing on Wednesday that he would be sidelined for at least six weeks with a fractured ankle.

Montreal Canadiens Notes:

The Montreal Canadiens are looking for their first win in five games after coming off a 7-2 loss against the New York Rangers on Tuesday. The Canadiens had a slow start Tuesday night, giving up four goals in the first 11 minutes of the game.
