Blues reveal roster for Opening Night

Training camp is over, and the St. Louis Blues have their roster set for Opening Night on Oct. 15 vs. Columbus.
The Blues roster features 14 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders (25 players) because defensemen Scott Perunovich (shoulder) and Marco Scandella (hip) will miss the start of the season due to long-term injuries.

New additions to the team this season are forwards Noel Acciari, Josh Leivo and goaltender Thomas Greiss.
Jake Neighbours, who started last season with the Blues but was returned to juniors after nine games, is expected to start the season in the NHL again this season.
The puck drops on Opening Night vs. the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. A
