In the penultimate preseason game, the Blues will use a lineup that will closely resemble the one they use in a week for opening night.
Of the expected regulars, only Jake Neighbours and Alexey Toropchenko will not play on Thursday against the Senators. That includes all three defensive pairings and Jordan Binnington playing a full 60 mintues in goal.
The Blues enter Thursday 0-3-1 in the preseason, one of just two NHL teams that have not won an exhibition game. Utah is the other one.
Blues projected lineup vs. Ottawa on Thursday, 7 p.m.
Pavel Buchnevich – Robert Thomas – Jimmy Snuggerud
Dylan Holloway – Pius Suter – Jordan Kyrou
Mathieu Joseph – Brayden Schenn – Nick Bjugstad
Milan Lucic – Oskar Sundqvist – Nathan Walker
Cam Fowler – Colton Parayko
Philip Broberg – Justin Faulk
Tyler Tucker – Logan Mailloux
Jordan Binnington
Colten Ellis
In one year, Holloway has transformed himself from the new kid on the block after arriving from Edmonton into a part of the core for the Blues moving forward.
Lucic is in Blues camp on a professional tryout, hoping to earn a spot in the bottom six and sign a contract in St. Louis.
Among the cuts on Sunday were first-round picks Justin Carbonneau and Adam Jiricek, who were each sent back to their respective junior hockey teams.
