An update is expected today on Thomas, who left Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury. Also worth wondering how Neighbours, who finished the game after blocking a heavy shot, made it through.

[LGB73]

We might be about to see a team ice a bunch of 3Cs and see how competitive that makes them.

[STL fan in MN]

Both Thomas and Neighbours out tonight. Listed as day to day…

Oh boy. And against a Pens team that seems to be cookin'.

At least it's day-to-day and not longer.

Yep. Texier and Torpo take their place.

Two of our top forwards out, Hofer starting, Blues with perhaps the worst collapse in their history the last game, Pens playing well…all the signs point to a Blues loss tonight. But this season has made no sense so far so I predict the Blues win.

Haha...it can't get any worse, can it?!

Sometimes teams come together when main players gets hurt. So we'll see who steps up. Hoping Holloway finds his touch.

[hotrivets]

I'm hoping for a couple of faceoff wins tonight.

Let me get the question out early and I might ask you again because I’m old and forgetful. Is this game only on the NHL network ? Like several of you I’m not in Missouri - I don’t have the NHL network now unless I want to pay a bunch more money.. I think that NHL 66 .ir has not worked for anybody for a couple years now so what was it sports surge? and if so, which connection because I thought there was multiple choices of links?
What are the best suggestions for this season for getting games like this? Website? App? Thanks I’ll go back to this and they bring it up again if I still can’t get it when game time comes up. I hope everybody has a good Monday up to this point.

Logan Mailoux is looking like the worst trade of the decade. I still can't believe they traded a proven 22-year-old rookie sniper with who knows what kind of ceiling, for a F'n unproven project Dman.

This would be like the Cubs trading us PCA for Jordan Walker.

Just wait 200 games, you'll see.

Lol, hot take. I guess you missed the multitude of posts including from Pronger detailing why the Blues traded Bolduc for LM.

[Kariyadog]

Wow, can’t believe they’re starting Hofer so soon. Man this might get uglier yet.

Would you rather play him in an upcoming home game?
