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:
