Projected Lineup

With Alexander Steen officially out for Tuesday’s game, Ty Rattie is expected to be in the lineup for the second straight game and the third overall of the 2016-17 season. As the Blues attempt to extend their winning streak to four games, they’ll go to battle with the same exact lineup that they used on Saturday.

Against a gritty Bruins team, the Blues’ fourth line (or the specialists, as Ken Hitchcock has begun to call them) will perhaps be as valuable as they’ve been all season, as will heavy intimidators such as Dmitrij Jaskin and Robert Bortuzzo.
