Status report
Parayko did not participate in the Blues morning skate Friday because of an illness but is expected to play. … Leddy still needs to pass some tests in his recovery before he will be considered close to a return; the defenseman has not played since Oct. 15. … Necas and Drury each will make his home debut with the Avalanche after being acquired in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes on Jan. 24.
