ST. LOUIS - Changes are coming to the forward lines for Tuesday's game against the New Jersey Devils (7 p.m., FSMW, 101 ESPN).
Those changes include splitting up the Zach Sanford - Ryan O'Reilly - David Perron line. It will be the first time Blues Head Coach Craig Berube has separated O'Reilly and Perron this season.

"I'm just trying to find some chemistry in other areas," Berube said Tuesday. "You move some players around. I know O'Reilly and Perron have been together all year - it's not that the line hasn't produced, it has. Sanford has produced a lot for us lately - but the other guys haven't 5-on-5."
Robert Thomas is expected to center Perron and Sanford on the team's second line tonight.
"(Thomas) has played excellent hockey for us," Berube added. "I think the way he passes the puck and some of the plays he's making, Sanford is hot right now and Perron is a real good shooter. I'm hoping he can get them the puck in good areas and get some goals.
"They're not drastic (changes)," he said. "If you look at our 5-on-5 scoring lately, over time, it's just kind of dried up with certain guys. Sometimes you need a change, that's all."
Here is the rest of the projected lineup based on Tuesday's morning skate at Enterprise Center:
