Following a stellar 5-2 win against the Nashville Predators on Thursday - arguably one of the Blues' best home games of the season - Head Coach Craig Berube isn't expected to make any lineup changes for Saturday's matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks.
The puck drops at 7 p.m. at Enterprise Center (BSMW, 101 ESPN).

"They're playing good hockey and it's going to be a tough game tonight," Berube said of facing the Blackhawks, who have won five of their last six games. "They have the ability to score goals and have some good players that can still produce for them."
Injured Blues Vladimir Tarasenko, Torey Krug, Robert Bortuzzo, Logan Brown, Marco Scandella and Scott Perunovich have all resumed skating, but none are ready to return for Saturday's game, although Tarasenko told reporters he was "close" to returning from a hand injury.
Below is a projected lineup based on Friday's team practice at Centene Community Ice Center:
