Yesterday, I published the series preview, which I think does a decent job of covering where the Blues are heading into round one. Clearly, they are not the favorites.
Honestly, fate decided to make this series just a little more difficult for the team. Leading scorer David Perron wasn’t on the ice this morning, and the Blues ran these practice lines without him:
#stlblues morning skate lines:
Schwartz-O'Reilly-Schenn
Barbashev-Bozak-Tarasenko
Hoffman-Thomas-Kyrou
Clifford-Sanford-Blais
Krug-Faulk
Dunn-Parayko
Mikkola-Bortuzzo
Binnington
Husso
* No Perron, not seeing Scandella either.
