One day after needed help leaving the ice cream for training, defender Flew Defender Philip Broberg around the skating rink Thursday morning at the Blue Morning Skøje.

Broberg could not put much emphasis on his right leg after taking a fall along the boards. But he is expected back in the series against Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night in the Enterprise Center.

Blues Jim Montgomery plans to roll the same skaters who won a 5-4 shootout victory over the Golden Knights away Monday.

His one change will come to the finish where Joel Hofer (10-4-1, 2.74 goals against the average) will start. Jordan Binnington defeated Golden Knights Monday.

Defender Nick Leddy participated in the skate after missing training Wednesday with his long -term damage to the lower body. Leddy has not played since October 10, and Blues have no schedule for his.
