EDMONTON - Earlier Thursday, we told you that two lineup changes were possible - Jordan Kyrou could potentially replace Robert Thomas in the lineup and Mackenzie MacEachern was the likely candidate to replace Ivan Barbashev on the fourth line.

After watching warm-ups in Edmonton, it appears a significant number of additional changes are likely for the St. Louis Blues matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights (5:30 p.m., FSMW, 101 ESPN).

Vladimir Tarasenko did not practice in warm-ups, so Kyrou skated on the top line with Jaden Schwartz and Brayden Schenn. Becuase Kyrou's promotion left an empty roster spot on the third line, it looks as if Troy Brouwer will fill that role against Vegas.

In addition, Blues Head Coach Craig Berube appears to have shaken up the defense pairs.

The updated lineup from pregame warm-ups is below.
