A regulation or overtime win tonight over the visiting Vancouver Canucks will give the St. Louis Blues a spot in the playoffs for the fourth straight season.
And to help their chances, forward T.J. Oshie will return to the lineup after missing Saturday’s 4-2 loss to Columbus with the flu.
Oshie had the flu, said he only recently ate a full meal..... "it was a messy situation." #StlBlues

Alex Steen, however, is out after getting hurt versus the Jackets.
Hitch said Steen feels a lot better today. He remains day-to-day, "moment-to-moment." #StlBlues

Even with just one win in their last five, the Blues still have a reasonable shot at catching Nashville and winning the Central Division. But per Sports Club Stats, their most likely first-round opponent is Chicago.
