Projected Lineup: Dec. 17 vs. Dallas

With points in each of their last six games (4-0-2) and a solid 4-1 win against the same Dallas Stars on Tuesday at American Airlines Center, St. Louis Blues Head Coach Craig Berube is not likely to make any lineup changes for Friday's rematch (7 p.m., ESPN+, Hulu).
And that would include having Charlie Lindgren in goal.

Lindgren is expected to get the start Friday despite Jordan Binnington rejoining the team after being on the COVID-19 list.
"With a goaltender coming off COVID, I think a little more time needs to be put into practice for timing purposes and things like that," Berube said Friday. "Binner feels good, but for timing and stuff like that, I think he needs more time. And Lindgren has played well."
Lindgren made 33 saves in Tuesday's win against the Stars and improved to 4-0 on the season for St. Louis. He is just the second goaltender in franchise history to win each of his first four games, joining Ryan Miller, who started 4-0 during the 2013-14 season.

Friday's practice was optional, so the projected lineup is based on Tuesday's game. If changes are available at warm-ups, they will be updated here.
