Khudobin allowed three goals on 30 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak and moved him to 9-4-0 with a 2.28 GAA and .924 SV% in January. He will look to finish out the month on a high-note, but it won't be easy with the Blues in town.

Khudobin stopped 25 of 26 shots in a 6-1 blowout win over the Maple Leafs last night. He is now 4-0-0 with a 1.74 GAA and .950 SV% since returning from his ankle injury.
