Torey Krug - Returning Saturday Krug (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Minnesota, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.
Impact Krug missed his first game of the season Thursday in Ottawa. The defenseman has three goals, 34 points, 148 shots on goal and 95 blocked shots in 69 appearances. Look for Marco Scandella to be a healthy scratch as Krug will slide in on the second unit, alongside Justin Faulk.

Colton Parayko - Scores goal in win Parayko scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Senators.
Impact Parayko was able to close out an 18-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 11 versus Montreal. The blueliner has been shooting the puck more of late, registering 12 shots in his last five outings.

Blues play the Wild following Neighbours' 2-goal performance
The St. Louis Blues visit the Minnesota Wild after Jake Neighbours scored two goals in the Blues' 5-2 win against the Ottawa SenatorsMARCH 22 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jake Neighbours - Five-game, six-point streak Neighbours scored twice Thursday in a 5-2 win over the Senators.
Impact Neighbours first put the Blues up 3-1 and stood as the winner. He stuffed the puck in from in front. His second went into an empty net. Neighbours has 24 goals this season, which ties him with Pavel Buchnevich for the most on the Blues. He has the uncanny ability to change his game to fit the line he's one, so he can flash skill when he's with Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou, and bruise like a beast if he's in a checking role on line three. Neighbours has 24 goals and 10 assists in 70 games. He's on a five-game, six-point scoring streak (four goals, two assists).

Joel Hofer - Difference maker in win Hofer made 37 saves in a 5-2 win over Ottawa on Thursday.
Impact Hofer was dialled in Thursday, especially when the Blues scuffled in front of him. Even Sens coach Jacques Martin came away impressed: "I think [Hofer] was the difference in the hockey game. There's no doubt when you look at the number of chances we had. I think it was 22-12 in our favor." Hofer has won three straight games with just five goals allowed (.952), and he's bound to get more action short-term with continued strong play.

Jordan Kyrou - Strong play catches coach's eye Kyrou had a goal and two assists in a 5-2 win over the Senators on Thursday.
Impact Kyrou picked up a loose puck in the slot with his back to the net, and he spun around and beat Anton Forsberg with a quick wrist shot to push the scored to 4-2. It was an important game for the forward, who has struggled this season. "I was really happy with Jordan's game," said Blues coach Drew Bannister. "I mean, that's the way he has to play if we're going to move forward. Like, we need him at his best, and I thought tonight he was real good again, so that's a positive thing because I know he's been struggling a little bit with his confidence in his game. It was nice to see that he was back to his old self here tonight." Kyrou has 53 points, including 22 goals, and 210 shots in 70 games this season, but that's a far cry from his standard 73-75 point production.
