Thomas Greiss was the first goalie off the ice on Thursday morning, indicating he will be the likely starter as the St. Louis Blues wrap up their season series with the Calgary Flames (7 p.m., BSMW, 101 ESPN).
If Greiss does play, it would be his second start in the last three games.
On Sunday in Minnesota, Greiss made 23 saves in the third period en-route to a 35-save shutout - his first as a Blue and the 16th of his career.

Blues Head Coach Craig Berube appears to be making just one other personnel change, putting Josh Leivo in for Nathan Walker on the third line.
"The switching of the players, I want to keep everybody playing. I think it's important," Berube said. "We have a couple of extra guys, I want to keep them involved, keep them playing, they've done a good job for us. When they go in, they provide energy... Nathan Walker didn't do anything to come out of the lineup. He played a couple games for us, did a good job, same as with Leivo when he came out. I just want to keep guys playing."
Below is a projected lineup based on the morning skate.
