The St. Louis Blues will be without David Perron on Saturday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
Perron (sick) out for today’s game. Sundqvist will move up the lineup and Kostin will take Perron’s spot in the lineup. #stlblues

Perron is dealing with an illness that will keep him from the matinee versus the New York Islanders. The illness is not expected to be related to COVID-19. Perron has had an underwhelming season for the Blues with 12 goals and 17 assists in 40 games, but he has picked up his play of late with four goals and eight points in his last eight outings.
