The St. Louis Blues are losing another player to injury – this time it’s Dillon Dube after he sustained a neck injury in Thursday’s season opener against the San Jose Sharks.<\/p>\n
Dube will be re-evaluated in eight weeks and joins a list of players who will miss significant time: Alexey Toropchenko, Logan Mailloux and Tyler Tucker.<\/p>\n
“it’s an opportunity\u00a0with our depth,” Blues Head Coach Jim Montgomery said. “We talked about our organization having really good depth.\u00a0We have a lot of good young players, a lot of good veteran\u00a0players. People are going to get opportunities.”<\/p>\n
With the exception of Zach Dean stepping in for Dube for Saturday’s 6 p.m. game against the Columbus Blue Jackets (Blue Note+, 101 ESPN), Montgomery isn’t expected to make any additional changes to the forward lines or defense pairings.<\/p>\n
Jordan Binnington will start in goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The St. Louis Blues are losing another player to injury – this time it’s Dillon Dube after he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":877813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-877812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=877812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/877813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=877812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=877812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=877812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
