Status report
Broberg held a towel to his face and went to the dressing room during the morning skate; he received stitches after being hit by a stick and will play, Blues coach Drew Bannister said. ... Bolduc will play after being left out of the lineup for a 5-1 win at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday. ... Kapanen, a forward, is a healthy scratch. … Primeau will start at the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. … Xhekaj will play after being a healthy scratch the past two games. … Guhle, a defenseman, and Slafkovsky, a forward, each wore a no-contact jersey for the optional morning skate and neither will play this weekend. It was the first time Guhle skated since Oct. 17.
