Schenn (upper-body) will return to the Blues lineup in Detroit.
Schenn missed the last nine games with an upper-body injury but returns to the lineup on Wednesday. Schenn, who has three goals and three assists in nine games, will centre the second line with Brandon Saad and Jordan Kyrou on his wings.
Bear is not on the ice for warmups; will not play in San Jose.
Schenn (upper-body) is "very close" but will not play Monday.

The Islanders have added Adam Pelech to the COVID-19 protocol list.
Line Change
Soucy will be back in the Kraken lineup on Friday.
Soucy was a healthy scratch on Wednesday but will replace Haydn Fleury in the lineup on Friday. Soucy has scored two goals on 18 shots with a minus-4 rating in 10 games this season.
Lee has been placed on the COVID-19 protocol list.
Moving to the protocol list on Friday makes Lee questionable for the Islanders' back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday. Lee joins Josh Bailey and Ross Johnston, so look for the Islanders to make some call-ups if they're all unavailable for the weekend.
Pulock will miss 4-to-6 weeks with a lower-body injury.
This is a huge blow for the Islanders blueline, as Pulock is the team leader in ice-time (21:07). Pulock being out one month opens the door for Sebastian Aho to play big minutes, including on PP1. In two games this season, Aho has played 19:03 ATOI at even-strength and 4:59 on the PP.
Line Change
Soucy will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
Soucy has been in the lineup for four straight games but will be replaced by Haydn Fleury vs. the Blackhawks.

Cizikas (illness) is questionable for Monday's game in Tampa.
Cizikas missed Saturday's practice due to illness and is questionable to play Monday against the Lightning. He was able to skate Sunday, which is a good sign that he'll be available, but he remains a game-time decision
Line Change
Boqvist will draw back into the Blue Jackets lineup on Monday.
Boqvist missed six games with a lower-body injury and was a healthy scratch on Saturday. Monday will be his first game since October 23rd and comes in pointless with a minus-3 rating in five games.
