St. Louis opened the season with a three-game road trip to the West Coast and is back at Enterprise Center to play the Wild in front of its fans on Tuesday night. The Blues are one of seven NHL teams that entered Tuesday without a home game.

Brandon Saad will make his season debut after missing the first three games due to the birth of his daughter. Kasperi Kapanen is expected to be a healthy reserve, while Alexandre Texier will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury.

The Wild will be without starters Joel Eriksson Ek (broken nose) and Jared Spurgeon (lower body injury) on Tuesday night.
