Projected Lineup: Jan. 23 vs. Los Angeles

The St. Louis Blues will have their defensive pairs in tact on Saturday when they meet the Los Angeles Kings for a back-to-back weekend set (7 p.m., FSMW, 101 ESPN).
Marco Scandella missed Wednesday's game with an upper-body injury but was back at practice Friday and is good to go tonight.

Blues Head Coach Craig Berube will make one change to the forward lines: Kyle Clifford is expected to return to the fourth line in place of Sammy Blais. Clifford played 10 years and 660 NHL games with the Kings from 2010-2020 and will be facing his former team for only the second time in his career.
"There's been quite a turnover the last two years, but there's still some guys I played 10 years with," Clifford said. "I'm just looking forward to getting out there, having some battles with them. They're a good hockey team, it looks like they've got an extra step to their game. Our job is to be prepared, be ready to compete and battle for two points tonight."
