Prior to final roster cuts, this is what the opening night roster should look like

St. Louis Blues head coach Jim Montgomery indicated that the final preseason game lineup will likely serve as the team's opening-night roster. The Blues recently defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 1-0 on Thursday night ahead of their final preseason contest.

The proposed opening-night roster features forwards Dylan Holloway, Robert Thomas, and Jimmy Snuggerud, with Joel Hofer projected as the starting goaltender ahead of Jordan Binnington. Notable omissions from the projected lineup include Pius Suter, Nathan Walker, and Tyler Tucker, with Zach Dean projected to secure a fourth-line role.
