Predicted Lineup for March 10 Game Against New York Islanders
The St. Louis Blues are set to host the New York Islanders at the Enterprise Center on March 10. This matchup will feature significant roster changes, particularly on defense.
Key Defensive Adjustments
The Blues’ lineup will see the debut of defenseman Theo Lindstein. He will be paired with veteran Colton Parayko, who returns to gameplay for the first time since February 26 due to back spasms. Parayko’s experience is expected to be beneficial for Lindstein as he adjusts to the NHL.
Coaching Insights
Head coach Jim Montgomery expressed confidence in Parayko’s ability to support Lindstein. He noted that a player of Parayko’s caliber can help calm nerves and guide younger teammates during their first NHL experiences.

In addition to Lindstein, two more of the Blues’ first-round draft picks from 2023 will be in action. Dalibor Dvorsky, selected 10th overall, and Otto Stenberg, picked 25th, will also be part of the lineup. Stenberg, recently recalled, is projected to skate alongside Jonathan Drouin, with Pavel Buchnevich centering the line.
