The Blues have lost two of their last three (1-1-1) and will turn to Hofer on Wednesday against the Chicago Blackhawks. Hofer has played well when called upon, allowing three or fewer goals in his last six contests (3-1-2), but has lost two straight, including a 3-2 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks in his last outing when he allowed three goals on 25 shots (.880 SV%). The Blues enter action as -210 home favourites.
Neighbours did not play on Sunday and could miss a second straight contest on Wednesday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 22-year-old Neighbours has enjoyed a breakout season with the Blues, scoring 38 points (27G / 11A) in 77 games.
Faulk exited Saturday's 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks after playing only 13:20 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. Before his injury, Faulk had three points (0G / 3A) in two games. He is likely out for the remainder of the season.
Bolduc will dress on Thursday after sitting out Monday's game against the Oilers. Bolduc has two goals and two assists in 18 games this season.
Hayes is battling an illness and his status was up in the air for Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators. In his last outing, Hayes had two assists, snapping a six-game pointless skid.
