Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said there is a "good chance" Vladimir Tarasenko will return to the lineup for Monday's matchup with the Anaheim Ducks (7 p.m., BSMW+, 101 ESPN).
Tarasenko has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury.

"Good chance he's going to play," Berube told reporters after practice. "We'll see in warm-ups."
If Tarasenko plays, Berube said Kyle Clifford would likely sit out. In that case, we'd expect Sammy Blais to shift to the fourth line in Clifford's spot.
Vince Dunn (upper-body) skated Monday and could return sometime this week. Torey Krug (upper-body) did not skate and won't be in the lineup against the Ducks.
Below is a projected lineup for Monday's matchup with the Ducks.
