Blues host Wild, close to recovering

The Blues look to bounce back tonight after a tough 3-1 loss to the Sharks on Thursday. They will host the Minnesota Wild: puck drops at 7:00 p.m.

Whether you like him or not, Magnus Paajarvi will play in his 100th game as a Blue tonight. Vladimir Tarasenko has four goals in his last five games against the Wild.

Jaden Schwartz has been skating and he feels good. He will most likely return on Tuesday when the Blues host the Winnipeg Jets.

Jake Allen, on the other hand, is still out. He skated with the team on Friday, but has not been cleared yet. We don't know when he's coming back.

Here are the projected lines:
​Forwards
Berglund- Stastny- Tarasenko
Upshall- Steen- Backes
Fabbri- Lehtera- Brouwer
Paajarvi- Brodziak- Jaskin

Defense
Bouwmeester- Pietrangelo
Gunnarsson- Shattenkirk
Edmundson- Parayko

Goalie
Elliott
