57-21-74
Perron moves down to the second line with most of the team healthy. In his first 20 games back from injury, he has three goals and 15 points. He should be just as productive with the second line.

Line Change
Tyutin - Nikitin
Nikitin is expected to get back into the lineup after a bout with the flu. He has a goal and 14 points through 22 games with the Blue Jackets.
Nikitin out with flu.
Look for David Savard to play for him tonight.
Line Change
#CBJ D Nikita Nikitin (flu) is questionable for tonight's game.
Nikitin has been excellent since coming over from the Blues, scoring a goal and 14 points through 22 games.
Hot Streak
#CBJ D Nikita Nikitin has eight assists in 13 games with #CBJ. Had eight in 41 games with STL last season.
Nikitin has certainly benefited from a change in scenery. He's not a bad option in standard leagues, playing alongside countryman Fedor Tyutin.
Line Change
No ill effects here for @DP_57. He's got a burst on everyone. #stlblues
Great to hear that Perron is OK after his first game back. The sniper now has goals in consecutive games and should get a look in all formats.

Perron draws into the lineup for the first time since November 4th, 2010. As one of the feel good stories of the year you can only hope he gets back to full speed.
Line Change
Perron, who has missed 97 games due to a concussion suffered Nov. 4, 2010 vs. San Jose, will return to the lineup Saturday when the Blues host the Chicago Blackhawks at 7 p.m. at Scottrade Center.
Perron draws back into the lineup for the first time in over a year. He is expected to play with Patrik Berglund and Chris Stewart. Grab him now in case he continues where he left off.

Perron continues to progress but when he gets back into the lineup is anyone's guess. Despite rumors he may return to the lineup on Saturday, the decision is up to him.
There has been some thought that Perron could play this weekend but he has yet to give that indication to GM Doug Armstrong. Perron was also hit by the flu bug that recently made its way around the Blues dressing room.
Similar to Sidney Crosby, Perron will return to the lineup when he feels ready to get back into a game. Reports continue to be positive on the young sniper but how he produces is anyone's guess.
Line Change
It's purely a guess on @DP_57 being in lineup Saturday. But it makes sense ... couple more good practices, last line change at home, etc.
Might be time to make a speculative add of David Perron. The super-talented winger has been impressive during practice and could break out if fully healthy.
@DP_57 will not be making his return to the line up tonight. Closer but not there just yet. #blues and #flames tonight at 6:30 pregame
An earlier report from Sportsnet suggested Perron would get back into the lineup for the first time in over a year. It appears those reports were false but the winger is close to returning.
Looks like David Person is moving to stage 2. He's in gold jersey today.
Perron last played on November 4th, 2010 so his return has been very anticipated. Like Sidney Crosby, his status remains indefinite.
Line Change
#CBJ D Nikita Nikitin will skate w D Fedor Tyutin tonight.
Playing with a fellow countryman should help Nikitin break into the lineup with the Blue Jackets. The Omsk native is still looking for his first point of the season.
The clubs have not confirmed the deal, but sources told the Post-Dispatch that the Blues have sent Nikita Nikitin to Columbus in exchange for Kris Russell.
Nikitin played in 42 games last season but was the odd man out on the Blues d. He is still looking for his first point of the season.
David Perron was not on the ice for the Blues' pregame skate today. He has been in recent pregame skates. #stlblues
Could be a setback or a scheduled doctor's appointment. Perron last played November 4th, 2010 against the San Jose Sharks.
Perron practicing, could be a few weeks.
Sounds like Perron received some good news and may return over the next month. Considering Sidney Crosby has been practicing since before preseason, it seems quite ambitious to be on such a truncated timeframe.
David Perron has been practicing with the Blues lately, but today was his first full practice on a non-game day. "Do you see the first drill?" Perron said. "I was brutal."
Perron will need some time to regain his timing after missing a full year.

Perron continues his road to recovery but is still a ways away from returning. The next step would be slowly introducing him to contact. However, practicing with the team for two consecutive days remains a welcome sign.
David Perron on the ice today for practice wearing a red no-contact jersey.
Perron skated with his teammates, not by himself, which is a very welcome sign for him. The next step would be slowly introducing him to contact. Considering he only skated 20 minutes today, his return should take a while.
