Blues’ opening night roster is set, has some surprises

Yesterday, the Blues sent Mackenzie MacEachern and Logan Brown to the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds, leaving the Blues’ roster at 24 players. Today, the team sent Klim Kostin down to the AHL (more on that in a bit), meaning that their opening night roster is set.

Here’re today’s practice lines, which may as well be what we see on Saturday night against the Colorado Avalanche:

With Kostin sent down to maximize some cap space until Oskar Sundqvist is officially on LTIR, Kyle Clifford is the odd man out.
