Stone was hurt midway through Saturday's game in San Jose and will be a game-time decision on Monday. If Stone can't play, expect Tomas Nosek to draw back into the lineup and Alex Tuch would most likely move into the top-6.
Eichel was a surprise scratch on Thursday and will remain out of the lineup on Saturday afternoon. Tage Thompson replaced him on Thursday but Jeff Skinner will be back in the lineup for him on Saturday.
Hertl tested positive for COVID-19 and head coach Bob toughener said he'll miss at least two weeks as he follows protocol. With the Sharks back in action on Saturday, look for Alexander Chmelevski to replace Hertl in the lineup.
Eichel missed Thursday’s morning skate and was a late-scratch for last night’s game vs. the Devils. Eichel was once again missing from practice on Friday and is listed as day-to-day. Consider him questionable for this weekend’s back-to-back vs. the Flyers.
Lauzon was forced to leave the outdoor game in Lake Tahoe after one shift with a fractured left hand. He underwent surgery to repair it on Wednesday and will miss at least one month, so don't expect to see him until late-March.
Barbashev was hurt last Thursday vs. the Sharks and underwent surgery on Tuesday. Barbashev will be out for at least six weeks, sidelining him until early-to-mid April.
Barbashev had been playing well on the Blues top line but suffered a left ankle injury on Thursday. With Barbashev out for at least six weeks, Jordan Kyrou was on the top line in Friday's practice and Nathan Walker was promoted from Utica (AHL).
Theodore has missed the last three games but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Avalanche. Theodore skated with Nick Holden and on the top power-play unit in the Golden Knights' morning skate.
Pietrangelo has been sidelined on the COVID-19 reserve list since January 26th but is "available" for Thursday's game vs. the Ducks. Pietrangelo will replace Shea Theodore, who is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
