Canadiens, Blues look to stay afloat in playoff races

Mar 10, 2007 - 5:43 PM Montreal (33-30-6) at St Louis (29-28-10)) 8:00 pm EST

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- It may be too little too late for the St. Louis Blues in the playoff race. The Montreal Canadiens are on thin ice in that department as well.

Despite being on the outside looking in, the Blues hope to keep their stellar play going when they host the sliding Canadiens on Saturday.

On Thursday, St. Louis posted a 5-3 victory over slumping Dallas. In another impressive performance by the club, Doug Weight scored twice and defenseman Eric Brewer added a goal and an assist.

Posting a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games, the Blues have won five of their last six at home but still are 13 points out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Despite a considerable deficit for the final berth, they will look to keep their upward swing going when they face the struggling Canadiens, who have dropped four in a row and are 4-11-0 in their last 15 games.

The Canadiens are in 11th place, just three points behind Carolina for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Montreal fell behind by six goals before getting on the board in a 6-2 loss to Atlanta on Thursday.
