Status report

Clifton will play for the first time since Oct. 10 after being a healthy scratch the past seven games and replace Brunet, a defenseman.

The Blues will switch up their top three lines after being shut out in back-to-back games.

Johnston, a forward, continues to practice but will miss his sixth straight game. Mailloux has been skating for several days but the defenseman has not yet been cleared to make his season debut.
