Jordan Kyrou (illness) will be a gametime decision and will take warm-ups with the team prior to Saturday's matchup with the New York Islanders (7 p.m. CT, BSMW, 101 ESPN).
If Kyrou can play, we'd expect the forwards to be the same as they were for Wednesday's matchup with the Seattle Kraken with one exception - Mackenzie MacEachern is out with an upper-body injury he sustained in Friday's 4-3 overtime win against Minnesota. If Kyrou can't play, Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said the Blues would have to use 11 forwards and seven defensemen in the game. Jordan Binnington will start in goal as the Blues look to extend their point streak to eight games (6-0-1).
