On the fifth day of training camp, the Blues presented a first look at what could be molded into an NHL lineup on opening night in less than three weeks.
During practice Tuesday morning, the Blues ran out forward lines and defensive pairings that could — with some slight adjustments — become the ones that face the Wild on Oct. 9. Here were the NHL-relevant combinations:
Pavel Buchnevich — Robert Thomas — Jimmy Snuggerud
Dylan Holloway — Pius Suter — Jordan Kyrou
Jake Neighbours — Brayden Schenn — Mathieu Joseph
Alexandre Texier — Nick Bjugstad — Justin Carbonneau
Alexey Toropchenko — Oskar Sundqvist — Nathan Walker
Milan Lucic — Dalibor Dvorsky — Otto Stenberg
Cam Fowler — Colton Parayko
Philip Broberg — Justin Faulk
Tyler Tucker — Logan Mailloux
Theo Lindstein — Matthew Kessel
