MONTREAL — The Blues still can’t get this road thing down. A .500 team away from home most of the season, the Blues were upset by the Montreal Canadiens, 3-2, in overtime Thursday at Bell Centre.
“I think when you go on the road, you gotta understand that teams, they play well at home,” coach Craig Berube said prior to the game. “It depends who you’re playing obviously. But you gotta make sure that you’re managing the puck well. ... You gotta play real good defense, especially on the road. It’s very important. I think we’re getting better. We gotta keep improving.”
Instead of improving Thursday night, the Blues took an embarrassing step backward. The Canadiens finally got out from behind the 8-ball, improving to 9-33-7 and snapping a 10-game winless streak.
