Blues Lineup

The Blues aren’t expected to have any lineup changes on Tuesday, as Ryan Reaves will remain on the fourth line for a second straight game after replacing Steve Ott on Sunday. If anything, Tuesday’s game might bring more action for the fourth line of Upshall, Brodziak, and Reaves, which coach Ken Hitchcock expressed a desire to use more, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch‘s Jeremy Rutherford.

Here’s the Blues’ projected lineup for Tuesday:

Jaden Schwartz–Jori Lehtera–Vladimir Tarasenko

Alexander Steen-Paul Stastny–Troy Brouwer

Robby Fabbri–Patrik Berglund–David Backes

Scottie Upshall–Kyle Brodziak–Ryan Reaves

Jay Bouwmeester–Alex Pietrangelo

Joel Edmundson-Kevin Shattenkirk

Carl Gunnarsson–Colton Parayko

Brian Elliott
