The St. Louis Blues held an optional morning skate on Wednesday, so it's not certain whether Head Coach Craig Berube will make any lineup changes for Wednesday's game against the San Jose Sharks (8 p.m., FSMW, 101 ESPN).

Berube did say he was considering bringing Sammy Blais back into the lineup. Blais is eligible to play after serving a two-game suspension for a high hit on Opening Night.
"I haven't made that decision," Berube said. "I'm leaning towards it and it could happen."
If Blais plays, we'd expect him to play on the fourth line.
"He's a physical guy, but at the same time, he's really skilled," Oskar Sundqvist said of Blais. "Me and Barbs have played with him before, so it would be easy to play with him again. We just keep playing our game. We know what Chief and the coaching staff and our team expects from us. Just keep doing what we're doing."
