Jori Lehtera is a scratch for Game 5 of the Blues-Wild series after suffering a lower body injury in Game 4. 

Coach Ken Hitchcock said Friday morning it was "50-50" as to whether Lehtera would play in Friday night's Game 5 against Minnesota at Scottrade Center.

"He took the shot, everybody saw that," Hitchcock said.
