"I'm excited," Blais said about being back in the lineup. "I've been sitting for the last couple games here, so I'm just trying to do my job and play the way I know how to play, and just try to help the team get the win… We have a really good team every year, we have a lot of depth. There are some guys not playing every night that are still good players. I'm just trying to do my job out there and I'm going to do it tonight."
Vince Dunn will also be back in the lineup after sitting out the last game against Vegas as a healthy scratch.
"I'm just looking for Dunn to come back and get to his game and play his game," Berube said. "He was pulled out for the mistakes that he's made, and he's got to clean them up. We're just looking for him to be more direct, a little bit more intense in his game."
Below is a projected lineup for Saturday's matchup based on the morning skate at Honda Center.
