ST. LOUIS - Blues Head Coach Mike Yeo will shake things up for Tuesday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes (7 p.m., FSMW, KMOX).
For starters, Brayden Schenn (upper-body) won't be in the lineup tonight. "I would say he's day-to-day right now," Yeo said of Schenn. "Obviously you saw him on the ice (for Tuesday's practice), but he felt he wasn't physically able to play at the level - he wouldn't have enough to be able to play at his level tonight. But also, we're being sensible in making sure we're not putting him in a position to damage it worse and be out longer." Schenn's absence means Jaden Schwartz is expected to move to the top line with Ryan O'Reilly and Vladimir Tarasenko tonight. Other forward changes include having Robert Thomas center a line with Robby Fabbri and David Perron and Zach Sanford moving to a line with Tyler Bozak and Alexander Steen. Defensively, Jordan Schmaltz will return to the lineup tonight, taking Jay Bouwmeester's spot. Chad Johnson will make a scheduled start between the pipes, his first since Oct. 14 vs. Anaheim.
