Jaden Schwartz will be reunited with Brayden Schenn and Vladimir Tarasenko on Friday when the Blues continue their road trip in San Jose (8 p.m. CT, FSMW, 101 ESPN).
Schwartz will be returning to the lineup for the first time in 15 games on Friday. He hasn't played since sustaining a lower-body injury on Feb. 12 in Arizona.

"It's feeling a lot better," Schwartz told stlouisblues.com. "Obviously it's not very much fun sitting out, but it came a long way the last couple weeks and it's feeling pretty good. I was able to ramp it up the last week. I feel confident to play tonight and I'm really excited obviously to play the game."
With Schwartz's return, Jordan Kyrou was skating with Ryan O'Reilly and David Perron on the first line in practice Friday and will likely be there against the Sharks. Zach Sanford skated on Tyler Bozak and Mike Hoffman's line, while Dakota Joshua appears to be out.
