"It seems like Vladi and Kyrou demand the puck for scoring, and it's tough when you've got two guys like that [on the same line]," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said. "This way I think our scoring is a little bit more spread out."
The third and fourth line are expected to remain the same, but there are changes on defense.
Marco Scandella, who has played every game this season, will see that streak end due to a lower-body injury sustained in Thursday's game against New Jersey. The injury is considered day-to-day or week-to-week.
With Scandella out, Jake Walman will return to the lineup for the first time since Jan. 13.
"He's got to be a hard defender, good use of his stick," Berube said of expectations for Walman. "He's going to be put in penalty kill situations so we'll need him to be a good penalty killer for us, too."
Ville Husso, who is 7-1-0 at home, is expected to start in goal.
