The Blues were missing only Vladimir Tarasenko, Ivan Barbashev and Logan Brown, who are under the weather or banged-up, and Robert Bortuzzo, who had the night off, from what could be the lineup they use on opening day on Oct. 15. It was a chance for some of the players competing for the last roster spot to make their cases and for the bulk of the team to continue its trek toward game shape. The Blues got goals from Pavel Buchnevich, Jake Neighbours, Nathan Walker and Klim Kostin, and Josh Leivo continued his bid for a roster spot with two assists. Jordan Binnington played the first two periods and stopped all 11 shots he faced on a pretty easy night for him. Minnesota had just three shots on goal in the second period. Joel Hofer came on in the third period, and in 13 minutes faced as many shots as Binnington had in 40. Hofer missed by inches scoring a goal when Minnesota had a late power-play and pulled its goalie. Hofer, who scored a goal in the AHL last season, took a big swing at the open goal from behind his own net but his shot was just wide left passing through the blue paint of the crease and outside the post. He tried another one when the teams were back at even strength that was on target but was blocked by a Minnesota player about 30 feet in front of the net. The Blues are 5-1 in the preseason and have scored four or more goals in each of the five wins. The Blues play in Columbus on Thursday and then close out their preseason at home on Saturday against Chicago. After that, they have a week-long wait until their season opener against Columbus.
