Coach Craig Berube implemented a strategy of 11 forwards and 7 defensemen, leaving Jakub Vrána, Tyler Tucker, and Nikita Alexandrov out of the game. Robert Bortuzzo and Scott Perunovich were brought in, with Perunovich also getting some power play time. Joel Hofer was the starting goalie for the Blues. The game was part of the Blues-Flames game day lineup. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Canucks, on a three-game winning streak, were preparing for their game against the Blues at Rogers Arena.
