ST. LOUIS - When the St. Louis Blues get back in action for the first time in more than four months, things will look… well, mostly the same.

Blues Head Coach Craig Berube stuck with familiar line combinations during training camp, and those same lines practiced together on Tuesday in a final tuneup before Wednesday's exhibition against the division rival Chicago Blackhawks (5:30 p.m. CT, FSMW+, 101 ESPN).

Berube told reporters Tuesday a couple of guys "could change" prior to puck drop, so the projected lineup below isn't set in stone.

Berube did say he planned to use both goalies in the game. Jordan Binnington is expected to play two periods Wednesday, while Jake Allen will play one.
