There is something satisfying, even in preseason hockey, about taking a home and home series. Friday night, the Blues had their A-ish squad out there. This afternoon against the Jackets, it’s got more of a B+ squad flavor. Jordan Kyrou, Klim Kostin, and Robby Fabbri will be the key cogs offensively, while the defense will be relying on Chris Butler and Vince Dunn.
Forwards: Ivan Barbashev, Sammy Blais, Robby Fabbri, Dmitrij Jaskin, Klim Kostin, Jordan Kyrou, Mackenzie MacEachern, Adam Musil, Jordan Nolan, Nolan Stevens, Oskar Sundqvist, Robert Thomas, Chris Thorburn
Defense: Chris Butler, Vince Dunn, Niko Mikkola, Mitch Reinke, Jordan Schmaltz, Jake Walman
Goalies: Ville Husso, Chad Johnson
Ivan Barbashev may be in “play for your roster spot” mode today.
