Scouting the Blues

16 Comments

The St. Louis Blues are expected to regain the services of forward TJ Oshie tonight. Oshie has missed 31 games with a fractured ankle but was removed from the injured-reserve list today and was a full participant in the morning skate. The Blues, much like the Kings, are greatly in need of some positive momentum. The Blues are 1-4-1 in their last seven, with the lone winning come over — you guessed it — the Kings, last Thursday in Los Angeles. St. Louis has played only one game since then, a 4-2 loss to San Jose on Saturday. Here are a couple previews from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, followed by what has been the Blues’ lineup of late. It’s unknown where Oshie might fit into the picture…
