The Mammoth will assign Andrew Agozzino to Tucson of the American Hockey League after the forward cleared waivers. ... Utah recalled Rooney from Tucson but the forward is unlikely to play. ... Sundqvist will make his season debut after missing six games because of a lower-body injury and replace Texier, a forward. ... Mailloux will replace Kessel, a defenseman, after being a healthy scratch the past two games. ... All four Blues forward lines will have a different look than the ones used in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. ... St. Louis held an optional morning skate Thursday.
