Status Report
Jack McBain, who departed early during a recent game against the Colorado Avalanche, is expected to play. The Mammoth will be assigning Andrew Agozzino to the Tucson team in the American Hockey League after he cleared waivers. Although Rooney has been recalled from Tucson, he is unlikely to see playtime.
For the Blues, Oskar Sundqvist is making his season debut after recovering from a lower-body injury, replacing Texier. Logan Mailloux will step in for Matthew Kessel, who has been a healthy scratch for two games. The Blues are expected to roll out new line combinations, deviating from their prior setup following a 2-1 overtime defeat to the Los Angeles Kings.
The excitement builds as these two teams prepare to clash, each hoping to secure a vital win for their respective standings.
