ST. LOUIS — Max Domi and Jonathan Drouin have been the Canadiens’ leading scorers since they were paired in the fourth game of the season, but a dry spell has coach Claude Julien thinking he may have to break up what has been his most productive line.

“We feel that duo has done well, but lately they haven’t been doing as well and I have to consider if doesn’t get better down the road we’re going to separate them,” Julien said after the Canadiens practised at the Enterprise Center in preparation for Thursday’s game against the St. Louis Blues (8 p.m., TSN2, RDS, TSN 690 Radio).

“That’s not out of the question,” added Julien. “Nobody said they’d be together all year. I think if they want to stay together, they have to be more productive as a line, not necessarily as a duo but as a line.”

Domi has gone 14 games without a goal but does have eight assists in that span. Drouin has three goals in the past 16 games and one of those was an empty-netter.
