Earlier in the preseason, Blues Head Coach Jim Montgomery said the final preseason game would feature a lineup that would closely resemble the team expected to start the regular season.
If that's the case, the team's Opening Night matchup in Dallas on Oct. 2 might look a lot like the lineup below, which is based on Friday's team practice at Centene Community Ice Center.
NHL preseason rules prohibit veteran players (100 games or more) from playing in more than two exhibition games, so the lineup below does not include Jordan Binnington, Ross Johnston or Dillon Dube - who have already played twice. Tyler Tucker is also not in the lineup as he deals with an injury.
In addition, Jack Finley, Oskar Sundqvist and Nathan Walker were assigned to the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds on Saturday.
The puck drops on the final preseason matchup in Chicago at 6 p.m. CT at United Center.
Fans within the Blues broadcast territory can watch the game live at stlouisblues.com or in the Blues App. Matrix Midwest will also carry the game over the air on channels 32.2 and 32.3, on Spectrum channel 186, Dish 31 and Fubo TV.
Chris Kerber and Joey Vitale will call the action on 101 ESPN (101.1 FM).
