Blues Lineup

After a Game 1 during which the Blues were pretty much in control for all 60 minutes, it would be surprising if Ken Hitchcock made any lineup adjustments. If anything, it’d likely be the removal of winger Steve Ott, who took a slashing penalty that allowed San Jose’s dominant power play onto the ice in the first period, but Hitchcock has generally shown a supreme level of confidence in Ott and will probably leave him in on Tuesday.

Here’s what the Blues’ lineup is expected to look like:

Jaden Schwartz–Jori Lehtera–Vladimir Tarasenko

Patrik Berglund—Alexander Steen–David Backes

Robby Fabbri–Paul Stastny–Troy Brouwer

Scottie Upshall–Kyle Brodziak–Steve Ott

Jay Bouwmeester–Alex Pietrangelo

Joel Edmundson–Kevin Shattenkirk

Carl Gunnarsson–Colton Parayko

Brian Elliott
