ST. LOUIS - Oskar Sundqvist (knee injury) will be back in the lineup for the first time in eight months, Torey Krug (COVID-19) will return for the first time in 12 days and rookie defenseman Scott Perunovich will make his NHL debut when the St. Louis Blues host the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Enterprise Center (BSMW, 101 ESPN).
Oh… and Ville Husso is back from COVID-19 protocol and will backup goalie Jordan Binnington.
What a day!

Sundqvist is expected to center the fourth line with Klim Kostin and James Neal, taking the place of Dakota Joshua, who was assigned to the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds on Monday.
Krug was skating alongside Justin Faulk in Tuesday's gameday practice and will likely play there when the puck drops. Jake Walman is expected to sit out.
Perunovich, who shares the AHL lead in points (20) through 12 games this season, will play on the third pairing with Robert Bortuzzo.
Below is a projected lineup based on Tuesday's morning skate:
