Hanley was on paternity leave recently and has often been a healthy scratch this season but will play Friday in Florida. Hanley will replace Andrej Sekera (COVID-19 protocol) in the lineup and skate on the third pair with Jani Hakanpaa.
Sekera will not play Friday in Florida, so Joel Hanley will draw back into the Stars lineup. Sekera will miss at least 2-3 games as a result of landing in COVID-19 protocol.
Buchnevich is the latest to land in COVID-19 protocol in St. Louis, joining Vladimir Tarasenko, Brayden Schenn, Colton Parayko and Scott Perunovich.
Hornqvist only missed two games while in COVID-19 protocol and is set to play Friday vs. the Stars. Hornqvist has scored two goals with one assist in his last two games and has 17 points (7G / 10A) in 34 games this season.
