Projected Lineup: Feb. 2 at Columbus

COLUMBUS - The Blues lineup will remain pretty much the same as it was prior to the All-Star break, with just one exception:
Robert Thomas is expected to return after missing seven games with a shoulder injury he sustained on Jan. 10.

"He looks ready," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said Friday. "I thought he had a good practice again today. He looks strong, we did battling and things like that and he seemed OK with it all."
Thomas is expected to take Sammy Blais' spot on the fourth line alongside Mackenzie MacEachern and Ivan Barbashev. Blais was assigned to the San Antonio Rampage just before the All-Star break.

David Perron remains out with an upper-body injury and did not make the trip, but he could join the team in Florida.
Jordan Binnington will start in goal.
