Kyrou missed the morning skate with an illness but head coach Craig Berube did not rule him out for Friday's game. Monitor his status as the Blues hit the ice for warmups (8:00 PM ET) and expect Alexei Toropchenko to move up to the third line if Kyrou can't play.

Kyrou has missed the last three games with an illness but will play Monday vs. the Coyotes. Kyrou was back on the third line and second power-play unit in Monday's practice and has 19 points (4G / 15A) in his last 17 games.




Kyrou missed Wednesday's game in Vancouver but will be a game-time decision on Friday. The Blues held an optional morning skate this morning, so there wasn't any indication on whether or not Kyrou will be available in Edmonton.



MacEachern was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Logan Brown on the fourth line on Monday. MacEachern has just one assist in seven games while averaging just 8:17 TOI/gm.



Thomas has missed three of the last four games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Thursday vs. the Flyers. Thomas will start on the "third" line with Vladimir Tarasenko and Ivan Barbashev on his wings.


Krug was hurt in the second period of Tuesday's game and is going to miss at least a couple of weeks with an upper-body injury. Luckily the Blues just acquired Nick Leddy from Detroit before the trade deadline, so he will help replace Krug.

Sundqvist was acquired as a part of the Nick Leddy trade on Monday and will immediately draw into the Red Wings lineup vs. the Flyers. Sundqvist had four goals with 11 assists (15 points) in 41 games this season.

With Vladimir Tarasenko and Robert Thomas out and Oskar Sundqvist traded to the Red Wings on Monday, the Blues were down to 10 healthy forwards. Walker, who has 44 points (19G / 25A) in 47 AHL games this season, is expected to suit up as the 11th forward.

Thomas will not play for the third time in four games after suffering a setback with his upper-body injury. The Blues will also be without Vladimir Tarasenko, who is out with an illness.
