NASHVILLE - Nikita Soshnikov will make his Blues debut today in Nashville (11 a.m., NBC, Y98) on a line with Alexander Steen and Patrik Berglund.

"Get him right in there. What better place than here just to get your feet wet," Blues Head Coach Mike Yeo said before the game against the Predators. "We'll give him a good opportunity today. He looked good in practice. It's going to take him a little bit of time to completely be on top of his game, but (I'm) anxious to see what he can add to our group right off the hop."
Tage Thompson and Jordan Schmaltz, who were recalled from the AHL on Friday, will also play today.

Here is a projected lineup based on Yeo's interview with the media and Friday's team practice at the St. Louis Outlet Mall.
