The St. Louis Blues will be without Philip Broberg due to a personal matter when the club wraps up their three-game road trip on Saturday night against the Seattle Kraken (9 p.m. CT, FanDuel Sports Network, 101 ESPN).
Broberg has returned home to St. Louis, and although Blues Head Coach Jim Montgomery said he didn’t expect Colton Parayko to be ready to return earlier this morning, it appears Parayko will be able to play.
Based on Friday’s team practice in Seattle, Mathieu Joseph is also expected to return to the lineup – taking his regular spot on the third line “most likely” in place of Dalibor Dvorsky, who played Wednesday in Edmonton.
With two games to play, the Blues still control their own destiny. Wins in both remaining games – Saturday at Seattle and Tuesday vs. Utah – would guarantee the Blues reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 46th time in franchise history.
