Blues Head Coach Jim Montgomery said "there are going to be changes" if the team failed to have success on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Kings.
After a 2-1 overtime loss to Los Angeles, Montgomery is sticking to his word.
In his pregame media availability at Honda Center, Montgomery confirmed the following changes:
IN
Jonathan Drouin
Oskar Sundqvist
Nathan Walker
Tyler Tucker
OUT
Pavel Buchnevich
Alexey Toropchenko
Jack Finley
Justin Holl
With Buchnevich, Montgomery said it's a "maintenance thing" with back to back games coming up against Colorado. "We want to make sure he's at his best for those to games," he said.
The puck drops at 9 p.m. CT on Friday on FanDuel Sports Network, First Alert 4, Matrix Midwest and 101 ESPN.
