Otto Stenberg will draw back into the Blues' lineup on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames, sending Sundqvist to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Sundqvist is averaging 13:03 time-on-ice, recording 15 points (4G / 11A) in 49 games. He has a -17 plus/minus rating, worst amongst all active forwards on the Blues this season.
Jonathan Drouin will draw back into the Blues' lineup on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames, sending Berggren to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Berggren continues to show glimpses of offensive talent but seemingly struggles to gain the trust of the coaching staff, regularly being a healthy scratch, whether currently under Blues' Head Coach Jim Montgomery, or under Detroit Red Wings' Head Coach Todd McLellan earlier this season. Berggren has seven points (2G / 5A) in his last eight games.
Tyler Tucker will re-enter the Blues' lineup on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames, returning Holl to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 34-year-old Holl had spent the entire 2025-26 season in the AHL until he was acquired by the Blues at the trade deadline. He has since played three games for St. Louis, averaging 14:53 time-on-ice and tallying one assist.
Justin Holl will be a healthy scratch on for St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing Tucker to re-enter the lineup. The 26-year-old Tucker is averaging 14:17 time-on-ice and has 13 points (3G / 10A) through 60 games this season.
Jonatan Berggren will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Drouin to make his return against the Calgary Flames. The 30-year-old Drouin has only played two games with St. Louis thus far, scoring one goal, as he continues to get acclimated after being traded two weeks ago.
Oskar Sundqvist will be a healthy scratch for the Blues on Wednesday, allowing Stenberg to re-enter the lineup against the Calgary Flames. The 20-year-old Stenberg is averaging 13:51 time-on-ice, scoring eight points (1G / 7A) through 21 games in his first NHL season.
The Blues turned to Jordan Binnington in their previous game, a rare regulation loss, and will revert to Hofer, who has been exceptional in helping the Blues get within reach of a Wild Card spot. The 25-year-old Hofer was outstanding in his most recent outing, saving 36 of 37 shots (.947 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the Edmonton Oilers. Since returning from the Olympic break, Hofer is boasting a tremendous 1.64 GAA and .948 SV% in six games (5-0-1). The Blues enter Wednesday's contest as -115 road favourites against a Flames team that is 1-4-0 in their last five games.
Hofer will get the call for the 33rd time this season when the Blues host the Oilers on Friday. The 25-year-old Hofer has been outstanding since the NHL returned from the Olympic break, posting a 4-0-1 record and a ridiculous .948 SV%. He'll need to be at his best again on Friday, as the Blues enter action at +150 on the money line against Connor McDavid and the Oilers.
Sundqvist will draw into the lineup on Friday along with Jonatan Berggren and Justin Holl as the Blues opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Dalibor Dvorsky, Tyler Tucker, and Nathan Walker will all serve as healthy scratches.

Thomas tallied two assists before leaving Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders in the third period due to an upper-body injury, but he should be ready to suit up when St. Louis returns to action on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 26-year-old Thomas is producing at an impressive rate after starting the 2025-26 season off slowly, scoring 12 points (5G / 7A) during a seven-game point streak.
Binnington has only played two games since returning from the Olympic break, taking the back seat to a red-hot Joel Hofer. That said, the two games Binnington has played have been two of his better outings in a mostly disappointing 2025-26 season, going 1-1-0 while saving 53 of 57 shots (.930 SV%). The Blues enter Thursday's contest as significant +242 road underdogs against the Eastern Conference-leading Carolina Hurricanes, who have scored four or more goals in four straight games (3-1-0).
