NHL : Ewen’s 2 Goals Lead Canadiens

MONTREAL — Todd Ewen scored twice, including the tie-breaking goal in the third period, as the Montreal Canadiens beat the St. Louis Blues, 6-2, Monday night.

Ewen, acquired from St. Louis in 1989, had two goals in a game for the first time in his career. He scored in the opening period to give the Canadiens a 2-0 lead and added the game-winner on a breakaway to start a four-goal outburst by the Canadiens.

St. Louis got even, 2-2, on goals in the second period by Nelson Emerson and Brendan Shanahan.

Ed Ronan of the Canadiens got his first NHL goal 6:09 into the game when he took advantage of a mix-up at the St. Louis blue line and beat goalie Curtis Joseph.

Montreal, coming off an 8-1 rout of the Minnesota North Stars Saturday, outshot the Blues, 33-27.
