The St. Louis Blues will play without Alexey Toropchenko due to injuries, and the team’s coaching staff may stick with the current lineup. Coach Jim Montgomery mentioned that Alexandre Texier has been filling in for injured players before and provides more offense, and the team hopes to get a push from his lines on Saturday. The Blues are looking for their first win of the season after a disappointing start, and Montgomery emphasizes the importance of determination and facing the reality of their current situation. Goalie Joel Hofer is expected to start in goal against the Calgary Flames.
