According to Jeremy Rutherford of STLToday.com, here are tonight's projected lines for the Blues and for the Blackhawks.
First up, the Blues.
Forwards
Jaden Schwartz-Jori Lehtera-Vladimir Tarasenko
Alexander Steen-Paul Stastny-Troy Brouwer
Robby Fabbri-Patrik Berglund-David Backes
Scottie Upshall-Kyle Brodziak-Steve Ott
Defensemen
Jay Bouwmeester-Alex Pietrangelo
Joel Edmundson-Kevin Shattenkirk
Carl Gunnarsson-Colton Parayko
Goalie
Brian Elliott
You'll notice that Robby Fabbri and Alexander Steen have flipped spots. Perhaps this is a move to get Steen's production going? He hasn't been quite the first round performer this year as we have grown accustomed to seeing in the past. Also, Steve Ott is back on the fourth line for the second game in a row. Hitch's threatening to get Ott double digit numbers when he can handle it. Be prepared.
The Hawks' line-up alterations are interesting:
Forwards
Andrew Ladd-Jonathan Toews-Marian Hossa
Artemi Panarin-Artem Anisimov-Patrick Kane
Tomas Fleischmann-Teuvo Teravainen-Richard Panik
Andrew Desjardins-Marcus Kruger-Andrew Shaw
Defensemen
Duncan Keith-Niklas Hjalmarsson
Trevor van Riemsdyk-Brent Seabrook
David Rundblad-Michal Rozsival
Goalie
Corey Crawford
Out for the evening are Dale Weise and Viktor Svedberg. Weise only got 6:29 of ice time on Sunday, but did get credited for four hits. Svedberg had five minutes of ice time and four penalty minutes. The switch-up won't leave the Hawks short much, if anything.
