Projected Lineup: Oct. 11 in Vegas

The St. Louis Blues are expected to make some changes to their lineup Friday night in Vegas as they wrap up a three-game road trip to open the season (9 p.m. CT, Bally Sports, 101 ESPN).

Here's what to expect based on head coach Drew Bannister's pregame meeting with the media:

– Alexandre Teixeira will miss a second straight game as he is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Texia had a late scratch in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win at San Jose. Jacques Bolduc took his place on the second line and is expected to be there against Vegas.

– Pio Joseph will make his debut on defense with the Blues, joining his brother Matthew in their first NHL game together. The Josephs will join the Seventh Brothers for the Blues, joining the Pickards, Plagers, O'Sheas, Bennetts, Cavallinis and Sutters.

– Jordan Binnington is expected to start in goal.
