Projected Lineup: March 5 at Los Angeles

For the third straight game, the St. Louis Blues will keep the same forward lines and defense pairs.
"It definitely (helps)," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said of keeping his lineup consistent. "I think you get some chemistry going and guys are with the same lines and they get chemistry. You tend to just understand where everybody is going to be and feed off each other. Hopefully that continues tonight."

"We'd love to have our big guns in, but right now, guys are coming in and they're playing hard. If they're given an opportunity, they're making the most of it," Brayden Schenn added. "The same lineup, it definitely helps, especially when you're winning. You're going to have that feel in the locker room that you're going to go down and do it again tonight. It's definitely nice to have familiar faces and guys consistently in the lineup night after night, lines staying the same and stuff like that. It's easier on everyone."
Ville Husso will start in goal in Friday's matchup against the Los Angeles Kings (8 p.m. CT, FSMW, 101 ESPN). Friday's game will begin a stretch of three games in four nights to wrap up a six-game West Coast road trip.
"It's just the plan," Berube said regarding Husso starting Friday. "We've got to use both goalies."
