Clearly, Pavel Buchnevich will not be playing tonight, since he is on the IR. Brandon Saad? Still injured.
What does that mean for the Blues past having a new signing in Tyler Pitlick? New lines. Lots of new lines.
Here’re tonight’s projected lines, from stlouisblues.com:
Forwards
Barbashev - O’Reilly - Kyrou
Schenn - Thomas - Tarasenko
Neighbours/Pitlick - Brown - Leivo
Toropchenko - Acciari - Walker
Defense
Leddy - Parayko
Krug - Faulk
Mikkola - Bortuzzo
Goalie
Binnington
Schenn’s flexibility is seen in his placement on the left wing, next to Robert Thomas and Vladimir Tarasenko.
