The Blues opened a brief road trip, including this game, with a 4-1 setback at the Arizona Coyotes Saturday. St. Louis outshot the Coyotes 32-22 in that contest, but the Blues have otherwise been leaky in allowing a lot of shots recently. Over their 10 previous games, they had allowed 34.1 shots per night.
The Golden Knights also allowed just 22 shots in their last game, a 4-1 win vs. the Washington Capitals Saturday. In fact, Vegas has held foes to 22 shots on goal in each of its last 2 games. Both were 4-1 victories.
Monday’s game marks the front end of a 3-day home-and-home. St. Louis will host Vegas Wednesday.
