Projected Lineup: Jan. 9 vs. Florida

ST. LOUIS - Jake Allen will start tonight's 7 p.m. game against the Florida Panthers, and Blues Head Coach Mike Yeo said that decision was an easy one.
"Obviously (Carter Hutton) has deserved some games here. He's done a phenomenal job for us and we would expect him to continue to do that, (but) we've been looking for an opporutnity to get Jake back in the lineup, too," Yeo said after Tuesday's morning skate. "I was disappointed with the game we played in front of Jake in Philadelphia. I would like to see us play a real strong game here tonight and I'm confident Jake is going to have a good game tonight."

Yeo will also bring Oskar Sundqvist back into the lineup for the first time since Dec. 27.
"We want to make sure everyone stays involved and get him back in here today," Yeo said of Sundqvist. "When we moved (Ivan Barbashev) up, that was part of the reason why we had to break up the (Kyle) Brodziak, (Alexander) Steen and (Patrik) Berglund line. We felt we needed a centerman for that fourth line. We bring 'Sunny' in and that will give us a chance to reunite that line."
Here is the rest of the projected lineup for tonight's game:
