Projected Lineup: Feb. 22 vs. Kings

Sammy Blais will be back in the lineup for Monday's matchup with the Los Angeles Kings (7 p.m. CT, FSMW, 101 ESPN).
Blais was added to the NHL's COVID protocol list on Saturday and didn't play against the San Jose Sharks, but he was back on the ice for practice with the team on Monday.

"False positive," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube told reporters after the skate. "We're fortunate there. We escaped one, which is good. We need the bodies right now, too."
Blais skated on the second line with Brayden Schenn and Mike Hoffman on Monday and also was working with the second power-play unit.
Tyler Bozak practiced with the team for the first time since Jan. 26 against Vegas but isn't ready to return just yet. Colton Parayko and Jaden Schwartz did not practice, so they will each be out of the lineup again.
