Status report

The Blues have made goalie changes in each of their past two games … Vrana is expected to play after being a healthy scratch for the previous three games … Mrazek is expected to start after Soderblom made 34 saves in a 4-3 overtime win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday … Perry will be away from the team for “the foreseeable” future, according to general manager Kyle Davidson. The forward will be scratched for the third straight game as part of an “organizational decision.” … Tyler Johnson took a maintenance day Saturday and did not practice, but is expected to play.
