ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Jordan Binnington made 25 saves for his first shutout of the
season, Jonatan Berggren and Robert Thomas scored and the St. Louis Blues beat
the Montreal Canadiens 2-0 on Saturday.
Binnington has 19 career shutouts. The Canadian Olympian allowed three goals or
more in seven of his previous nine starts --- six against Colorado in his last
start.
Montreal's Jacob Fowler stopped 17 shots.
Berggren opened the scoring midway through the first period. Otto Stenberg fed
Cam Fowler coming down the slot, and Fowler faked a shot and passed to Berggren
in the right circle for a one-timer.
Halfway through the second, Thomas scored his second short-handed goal of the
season. Soon after the goal, Binnington stopped all six Montreal shots on a
two-man advantage that lasted 1:37 with Colton Parayko and Brayden Schenn off.
The Blues' Jim Montgomery coached his 400th NHL game.
Up next
Canadiens: At Dallas on Sunday.
Blues: At Chicago on Wednesday night.
