Projected Lineup: May 10 at Los Angeles

UPDATE: Jake Walman will not play Monday after receiving a positive COVID-19 test](https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/walman-to-miss-mondays-game-against-la/c-324563632). Blues GM Doug Armstrong said he believes the test was a false positive. Steven Santini was recalled under emergency conditions and will play in Walman's spot.
Torey Krug will rejoin the lineup Monday in Los Angeles when the Blues meet the Kings at Staples Center (9 p.m. CT, BSMW, 101 ESPN).
Krug has been dealing with an upper-body injury and last played on April 29 against Minnesota.

"It was tough (being out)," Krug said. "Especially because it felt like we were rolling there as a group, starting to hit our stride. Ultimately I was excited to see the guys clinch while I was out of the lineup, and that gave me a little bit more time to make sure I was comfortable enough to come in(to the lineup). I'm excited to be able to prepare for the postseason."

Before the injury, Krug had a four-game point streak (six assists).
Blues Head Coach Craig Berube will also add Dakota Joshua back into the lineup on Monday. Joshua was skating on the fourth line in place of Mackenzie MacEachern.
