    The St. Louis Blues will look to make it a two-game Western Canada sweep when they take on the Vancouver Canucks on Monday at 6:30 p.m. (FDSNMW, Prime, ESPN 101.1-FM).

    The Blues evened their record at 1-1-0 after coming from behind to double up the Calgary Flames 4-2 on Saturday behind two goals from Jake Neighbours, a goal and an assist from Robert Thomas and terrific goaltending from Joel Hofer, who made 27 saves.

    There was no morning skate today at Rogers Arena but coach Jim Montgomery addressed the media pregame and confirmed no lineup changes other than in goal.

    Alexey Toropchenko, who missed Saturday’s game with lower- and upper-body soreness, is out a second straight game, and Jordan Binnington will get the start in goal.

    Per the team, the Blues did some lie shuffling below.

    * The game will mark the return of Pius Suter, who scored his first goal as a Blue on Saturday but spent the past two seasons with the Canucks; he signed a two-year, $8.25 million contract on July 2 to join St. Louis.

    * Speaking of Thomas, he needs two points to reach 400 for his career. Thomas has played in 468 games.

    * With his next point, Colton Parayko will move into sole possession of fourth on the Blues all-time franchise list among defensemen with 297 points, passing Rob Ramage.
