The St. Louis Blues are in Seattle for the first time, and they have a pretty close to fully-healthy lineup with them.
Defenseman Scott Perunovich remains out with an undisclosed injury, but other than that, everyone is available - including Pavel Buchnevich, who is the
last player to be activated from COVID protocols
.
"Only one guy out," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said before the game. "It's a lot better than it's been."

The Blues will be looking to string together consecutive wins after having a three-game winning streak snapped last Saturday against Toronto.
"We talked this morning. I think we're ready," Berube said. "We've had good practices but we've got to understand the situation here with Seattle. They play well, they play hard, it's not going to be an easy game. They beat San Jose last night, they played hard against them. You can't go into this game lightly or take them lightly. We have to make sure we come out in the third period, we're on our toes, skating and working. That's what it's really going to boil down to."
Berube did not reveal his starting goaltender for Friday's game, but below is a projected lineup based on Thursday's team practice in Seattle.
The puck drops at 9 p.m. CT on Bally Sports Midwest, the Bally Sports app and 101 ESPN.
