The Blues have had issues sustaining success, and I doubt things improve on the end of a back to back. The Canadiens are coming off two straight shootout wins, which provide a nice shot in the arm in terms of confidence. The home team has won 7 of the last 10 games between the Habs and Blues. We’re laying a cheap price. I have to side with the Canadiens on Sunday night.
