Marcel Hartel also scored for St. Louis . The victory was the first away from home for St. Louis since a 3-0 win over the L.A. Galaxy on March 9.
It was the fourth clean sheet of the season for Burki as St. Louis snapped a four-match winless streak while improving to 2-11-2 in road matches.
Jonathan Sirois finished with two saves for Montreal , which had a four-match unbeaten streak snapped.
St. Louis took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute when Joao Klauss’ shot attempt deflected to Wallem alone in front of the six-yard box. Wallem then slid a left-footed shot inside the far left post.
Montreal nearly tied it later in the half when Matty Longstaff chipped a shot from the left side of the box over the head of Burki, but defender Fallou Fall headed the ball away at the goal line to prevent a score.
The home team had another good scoring chance just before halftime when Prince Owusu took a through pass from Victor Loturi and broke in free, but Burki made a leg save on his shot from the left edge of the six-yard box.
St. Louis extended its lead to 2-0 in the 55th minute on Hartel’s sixth goal, a right-footed shot inside the far right post off a nifty short cross at the top of the box by Klauss.
Montreal, which finished with a 17-13 edge in shot attempts, turned up the pressure after that and nearly scored five minutes later. Ivan Jaime’s right- footed shot caromed off the crossbar and Hennadii Synchuk put in a left-footed shot from the edge of the six-yard box that was quickly ruled offside.
