Liljegren missed Sunday's game in Washington but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Red Wings. Liljegren will replace Carl Dahlstrom, who was sent back to the AHL this morning.

Ovechkin left Sunday's game vs. Toronto with an upper-body injury after crashing into the boards. He was not on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Islanders. Connor McMichael is expected to replace him in the lineup if he can't play.

Jenner has been out since March 11th with a back injury and will miss the final week of the regular season. Jenner finishes the season with 23 goals and 21 assists (44 points) in 59 games this season.



Beauvillier was scratched Thursday vs. the Rangers and head coach Barry Trotz said he's unsure of his status for Saturday. Since it's an afternoon game, there's no morning skate, so consider him a game-time decision.





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.


Carlsson played in three straight games but will be replaced by Gavin Bayreuther in the lineup on Saturday.




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.
