Projected Lineup: April 26 vs. Colorado

The St. Louis Blues will have a lot of questions marks defensively Monday as they wrap up their regular-season series with the Colorado Avalanche at Enterprise Center (6 p.m., BSMW+, 101 ESPN).
Colton Parayko and Vince Dunn - who both left Saturday's game with upper-body injuries - will not be in the lineup Monday. Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said he was unsure how long Parayko and Dunn would be out.
In addition, Torey Krug was not on the ice for Monday's morning skate. Berube said he expects him to play but the team wouldn't know for sure until after warm-ups.

So with all those issues, what could the defense look like on Monday?
That's uncertain, too, as Berube had his defense pairs scrambled for the morning skate at Centene Community Ice Center.
It's possible the Blues will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen again on Monday night. The team opted to use that lineup in Saturday's 5-3 win against the Avalanche.
Here is a projected lineup based on Monday's practice and warm-ups, although keep in mind that everything is subject to change - especially the defense pairings.
