Status report
Each team held an optional morning skate. ... Buchnevich will play after missing a 5-4 loss at the Minnesota Wild on Thursday due to the birth of his child; he will replace Dean, a forward. … Lindstein will enter the lineup after being a healthy scratch the past four games. ... Blues coach Jim Montgomery said Johnston, a forward, "tweaked something" Thursday and would be unavailable to play, and there's a chance St. Louis could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... Bourque will be a game-time decision; the forward has missed the past three games. ... The Predators also could go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, and Ahcan, a defenseman, would come in. ... Binnington will make his third start of the season and second in six games.
