2 years agoSt. Louis Blues winger Brandon Saad will start Wednesday's elimination game against the Avalanche on the top line. The Blues are 3-1 down in the series and changes are clearly needed to turn things around. Saad takes over from Pavel Buchnevich, who actually had a great run on the first line with five points in three games. The line includes the Blues' top goal-scorer David Perron and Ryan O'Reilly, who recently had a chance to celebrate his new playoff career high with a seven-game point streak. Saad has managed five points in 10 games in the playoffs and this is a great spot for him to boost his numbers.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
