James Neal Joins First Line With Pavel Buchnevich Suspended
3 years agoSt. Louis Blues winger James Neal will replace Pavel Buchnevich on the top line for Wednesday's matchup against the Golden Knights, with the Russian serving the first game of a two-game ban. The veteran sniper will be back in the lineup after sitting out Monday's 7-4 win over Arizona as a healthy scratch. Neal is also set to get power-play time on the first unit, so it's a perfect opportunity for the 34-year-old to turn back the clock. Buchnevich, who opened the season with two points in two games, is eligible to return to the lineup on Saturday against Los Angeles.
