Petersen has been activated from the COVID-19 protocol list and will be available on Friday.

Petersen missed Wednesday's game after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list but was activated today, suggesting it was a false positive test. Troy Grosenick filled in admirably for Petersen vs. the Ducks, so it's unclear who will start Friday.

Fleury was added to the COVID-19 reserve list and will not be available on Friday.

Fleury was added to the COVID-19 reserve list on Thursday night, making it unlikely that he'll be available for Friday's game. With Robin Lehner on a conditioning loan in the AHL, either Logan Thompson or Oscar Dansk will likely start in St. Louis.

Tarasenko (shoulder) is expected to make his season debut on Saturday.

Tarasenko has had three shoulder surgeries in 28 months but appears ready to make his season debut on Saturday night. Tarasenko is expected to replace Nathan Walker in the lineup and skate on a line with Brayden Schenn and David Perron. The last time we saw Tarasenko, he had 10 points (3G / 7A) in 10 games.
