Holl has had a tough start to the season, failing to pick up a point and posting a minus-7 through seven games. Timothy Liljegren will draw into the lineup to replace Holl.



Buchnevich missed the Blues' game in Vegas and vs. the Kings but will return to the lineup on Monday. Buchnevich scored one goal with one assist in his first two games with the Blues.



Buchnevich will miss Wednesday's game in Vegas and Saturday's game vs. the Kings. He will be eligible to return Monday vs. the Kings and is expected to be replaced by James Neal in the lineup on Wednesday.


Holl missed Saturday's game due to illness but was back on the ice for Monday's morning skate and is expected to replace Timothy Liljegren in the lineup vs. New York. Holl has a minus-3 rating, one shot, eight blocks and three hits sin 20:38 ATOI in his first two games of the season.


The Maple Leafs have not received his COVID test back yet, but Holl is not well enough to play Saturday regardless. Timothy Liljegren will replace Holl in the lineup vs. Ottawa.



Thomas followed up a breakout 2020 season with an injury-filled, disappointing 2021 campaign. He finished the season with just 12 points (3G / 9A) in 33 regular-season games but had a better showing in the Blues' short playoff run. Entering his fourth season, Thomas is still stuck behind Ryan O'Reilly and Brayden Schenn on the depth chart, so it's hard to envision him providing anything more than the 0.6 points-per-game we saw from him two years ago.
