The NHL extended the holiday pause through tomorrow’s scheduled games, to Monday night’s tilt against the New Jersey Devils has been postponed. The next game on the Blues’ schedule is Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers, and there will be four Blues sitting this one out.
Ok, three, because James Neal is already on the IR.
The Blues announced on Sunday that Neal, Ivan Barbashev, Robert Bortuzzo, and Dakota Joshua are on the Covid-19 protocol list. That benches them for the next ten days barring a false positive, which means that their hopes of playing in the Winter Classic (which is totally happening, you guys) are officially shot.
