The Blues (11-7-3) host the reigning Stanley Cup-champion Tampa Bay Lightning (12-5-3) in action Tuesday night.

Earlier this season, Torey Krug, Kyle Clifford, captain Ryan O’Reilly, Brandon Saad and goaltender Ville Husso were all at one time in COVID protocol.

Forwards James Neal, Klim Kostin and David Perron are also sidelined for the Blues. The team recalled forward Logan Brown from Springfield of the AHL for Tuesday’s game.
