Projected Lineup: Dec. 28 vs. Flyers

ST. LOUIS - It seems Santa brought the Blues some good news during the holiday break.
Paul Stastny, who was placed on injured reserve and missed the Dec. 22 game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, is healthy and will be back in the lineup tonight after the Philadelphia Flyers. Jake Allen, who left with an apparent injury in the final minutes of the Dec. 22 game, is fine and will back up Carter Hutton tonight.
Regarding tonight's lineup, Blues Head Coach Ken Hitchcock made a few changes over the break and liked what he saw in Tuesday's practice.

"We've made some decisions lineup-wise that are changes from what we had before," Hitchcock said. "This is a more familiar group that we've got going right now, and we wanted to see how it looked. Guys are excited. We've got significant opponents coming up, so we wanted to get as much continuity as we could."
Here is the projected lineup for tonight's game against the Flyers:
