Allen for the Blues, Vasilevskiy for the Bolts. Not feeling great about this one but who knows.

Haha since you’ve posted this, Bouwmeester has gotten injured. He’s out tonight.

Good grief. Schmaltz is playing with Dunn, Gunnarson up with Borts.

 

[Oberyn]

Our lineup is looking pretty terrible. We should just throw the Dunn-Schmaltz pairing out against the Kucherov line for kicks.

 

[Twisted Blue]

So our D is
Edmundson - Parayko
Gunnarsson - Bortuzzo
Schmaltz - Dunn

Time for Ed and Parayko to really step up and be a legit #1 D pairing

 

[Michael Scarn]

It’s comical at this point. Many teams would love a lineup of what the Blues have injured tonight.

Schwartz-Fabbri-Sanford

Bouwmeester-Pietrangelo

Hutton

Any tweet as to what's wrong with Bouw?

Nagging injury that flared up when he tried to skate this morning. Supposedly nothing to do with previous injury. His status is...wait for it....day to day.

 

[Majorityof1]

Which Blue gets tested more based on injuries? Schenn who went form having Schwartz and Tarasenko on his wings to Steen and Jaskin, or Jake who went from having one of Petro and Parayko in front of him for 45+ minutes a night to having two of Dunn, Schmaltz, Gunnar, and Bortz for 30+ minutes.

 

[The Note]

If they get a 4 out of a possible 8 points against TB, ANA, and WIN x2 with this lineup, I will be incredibly surprised and impressed. I think they can still be a good team without Schwartz, so I really hope Petro is good to go next week.

 

[Ranksu]

Allen will get pulled out after 1st period and Husso steps in 3-0 situation and end is history.

 

[Twisted Blue]

Crap, now we know J-Bo going on IR cause Yeo said "We don't expect this to be long-term."

Now would be pretty typical timing for the annual Stastny injury.

 

[converseman54]

Guess this is why Gunnarsson is worth holding onto

 

[Bye Felicia]

With these injuries I'm not too concerned about the ultimate result tonight. I'm just looking forward to seeing how the kids perform getting thrown right into the fire.

 

[Reality Czech]

Haha since you’ve posted this, Bouwmeester has gotten injured. He’s out tonight.

Yikes.

 

[thedustman]

this game should come down to the second and third lines. And I'm fully expecting one of our top two centers to take a Parayko rocket to the face.

 

[Blanick]

Well this is going to be a slaughter tonight.

If it's Schenn he'll just laugh it off.

 

[thedustman]

an extended 5 on 3 would be nice tonight, but at what cost?

Would it though? Have you seen them on the 5 on 3 this year lol.

You guess right, plus the fact that he is a safe and sound NHL d-man.

 

[thedustman]

Well both the blues and the bolts have zero 5 on 3 goals.

Oh yeah, I love me some Gunny. Still think it's a pretty fair contract, even though we have some kids that will be challenging him for time.
