UPDATE 8:40 p.m. Robert Thomas skated on the third line with Zach Sanford and Mike Hoffman and looks likely to return to the lineup tonight. The projected lineup below is updated to include Thomas in the lineup.
Tyler Bozak (upper-body) will miss his second straight game but Zach Sanford will be back in the lineup Monday when the Blues meet the Vegas Golden Knights (9 p.m. CT, FSMW, 101 ESPN).

Sanford did not play Saturday in San Jose after being entered into the League's COVID protocol. Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said Sanford had a false positive test and that he will be back on Monday night.
"It's one of those crazy years where stuff happens and luckily it all worked out," Sanford said. "Just a false positive. I've had two negative tests (since then) and I'm good to go."
The Blues could get Robert Thomas (broken thumb) back on Monday, too. Berube said Thomas would be a game-time decision.
"If he can play tonight, he'll be put in a good situation," Berube said.
Below is a projected lineup for Monday's game based on the morning skate.
