The St. Louis Blues will be without Oskar Sundqvist (torn ACL) and Zach Sanford (COVID-19 Protocol) on Saturday when they wrap up the season series with the San Jose Sharks (8 p.m. CT, FSMW, 101 ESPN).

Sundqvist will require surgery and miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season
. Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said he's hopeful Sanford's test is just a false positive, but he still won't be eligible to play tonight.
Without those two players, Berube said Nathan Walker and Jacob de la Rose will re-enter the lineup tonight. Ville Husso will start in goal.
Below is a projected lineup based on pregame warm-ups. Dakota Joshua was taking line rushes in place of Tyler Bozak (upper-body) on the third line.
