ST. LOUIS – Miscues were the story early, but puck luck became the narrative later in the Canadiens’ 2-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center on Saturday.

Credit where it’s due: Jordan Binnington was sharp from start to finish, turning aside every Montreal chance to deny yet another Canadiens comeback bid.

Montreal outshot St. Louis 25–19 but couldn’t find a way past the Blues’ netminder.
