The St. Louis Blues are facing setbacks as defensemen Justin Faulk and Scott Perunovich are both week-to-week with lower-body injuries. Faulk's injury is not a recurrence but a new injury from the Calgary game. Perunovich could potentially return sooner than Faulk. Meanwhile, Kasperi Kapanen is set to return for the Blues, but the injuries leave the defense unit thin. The Blues have 33 games remaining in the wild card race.
Sabres' lineup vs. the Blues: Skinner-Thompson-Okposo Benson-Cozens-Peterka Greenway-Mittelstadt-Tuch Girgensons-Krebs-Robinson Dahlin - Jokiharju Power - Clifton Ryan Johnson - Erik Johnson UPL in goal

Faulk and Perunovich are both week to week according to Drew Bannister. Faulk's injury is not a recurring one from the previous one he had. Was injured again in Calgary. Thomas took a puck off the side of his face in a drill today but Bannister said he should be OK. #stlblues
