GAME THREAD 20/82: St. Louis Blues at Vegas Golden Knights

David Perron will make his return to Vegas tonight as the Golden Knights host the St. Louis Blues, who hold a 6-7-3 record.

The Knights will look to extend their home winning streak to four games and improve their overall record to 9-10-1 on the season, taking one step closer to .500. St. Louis handed the Knights a 5-3 loss at the beginning of this month and is coming off a 1-0 loss to Chicago.

The Blues will get Brayden Schenn back in the lineup tonight, though Ryan O’Reilly remains the top-line center, skating between Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko. O’Reilly recently snapped a 10-game point streak, though he still leads the Blues in scoring with eight goals and 21 points.

Marc-Andre Fleury has recorded back-to-back shutouts on home ice, stopping the last 63 shots he’s faced.

Here are the projected lineups for both clubs:

Golden Knights
Marchessault — Karlsson — Smith
Pacioretty — Eakin — Tuch
Nosek — Carpenter — Hyka
Carrier — Bellemare — Reaves

Miller — McNabb
Theodore — Engelland
