The Montreal Canadiens achieved a significant 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues, marking their best performance of the season. Kirby Dach notably shone in this game, scoring his first goal since March 2023 and contributing an assist, showcasing his improved play on the top line in the absence of Juraj Slafkovsky. The Canadiens jumped to an early lead with goals from Dach and Jake Evans, while Alex Newhook and Cole Caufield also scored to secure the win. Sam Montembeault made 29 saves, helping to stabilize the team's defense, which had struggled previously. This win snapped Montreal's four-game losing streak, indicating potential for a turnaround as Dach's performance suggests a return to form. The Canadiens are set to face the Philadelphia Flyers next, hoping to build on this momentum.
