Projected Lineup: Oct. 25 vs. Los Angeles

Pavel Buchnevich will return to the St. Louis Blues lineup on Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings (7 p.m., BSMW, 101 ESPN) after serving a two-game suspension for head-butting.
Buchnevich was skating in his regular spot alongside Jordan Kyrou and Brayden Schenn in Monday's practice and is expected to play there when the puck drops.

The Blues are still without Brandon Saad, who missed Saturday's 7-3 win vs. Los Angeles while in COVID-19 protocol. Saad did not practice with his teammates on Monday at Enterprise Center.
Goalie Ville Husso will make his first start of the season between the pipes.
The Blues will be seeking a five-game winning streak to begin a season for the first time in franchise history on Monday.
