Fortunately, the Blues will be getting a big boost tonight.
Vladimir Tarasenko will return to the lineup after missing one game with a lower-body injury.
Tarasenko was hit by Ducks forward Shawn Horcoff in the second period Thursday and was helped to the locker room. He returned for the third period, but was not able practice or play Saturday against Minnesota.
Tarasenko returned to practice Monday, and Blues Head Coach Ken Hitchcock declared him good to go for tonight.
