BLUES (36-20-9) at SENATORS (30-27-6)
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FS-MW, RDS, TSN5, NHL.TV
Season series: Bobby Ryan scored twice, including the game-winning goal, for the Ottawa Senators in a 3-2 victory against the St. Louis Blues on Jan. 4. Mike Hoffman scored for the Senators, and goalie Andrew Hammond made 36 saves. Troy Brouwer and Kevin Shattenkirk scored for the Blues, who got two assists from Alexander Steen.
Blues team scope: St. Louis will play the third of a four-game trip. The Blues will have Ryan Reaves eligible to return after the right wing served a three-game suspension. The Blues have gone 2-0-1 the past three games at Ottawa since their most recent regulation loss on Jan. 21, 2010. St. Louis assigned forwards Ty Rattie and Dmitrij Jaskin and defenseman Joel Edmundson to Chicago of the American Hockey League and immediately recalled Jaskin and Edmundson. The moves were made to make those players eligible for the Calder Cup Playoffs. Captain David Backes needs one point for 450 in his career. The Blues, who were off Monday, did not make a move at the NHL Trade Deadline. General manager Doug Armstrong cited the Blues' lack of cap flexibility and uncertainty of injured players as primary reasons for the inability to acquire players.
Senators team scope: Center Kyle Turris (high ankle sprain) is out of the lineup indefinitely, most likely ending his season. Turris, who has 13 goals and 17 assists in 57 games, was initially injured Dec. 5 against the New York Islanders but re-injured the ankle Jan. 18 against the San Jose Sharks. "It's been frustrating," Turris told the Senators website. "... We just kind of came to the determination that it's hard to get around the ice now. Made the decision to get better." Forward Clarke MacArthur (concussion), who hasn't played since Oct. 14, will take a baseline test Tuesday. He will not play.
