Mike Hoffman, David Perron Move Up To First Line
4 years agoSt. Louis Blues wingers Mike Hoffman and David Perron will join Ryan O'Reilly on the team's first line for Monday's clash with Vegas. The team is currently going through a cold spell offensively, so head coach Craig Berube mixed up his lines at Monday's morning skate. Jaden Schwartz dropped down to the second line and Vladimir Tarasenko looks set to start the game on the third line with Robert Thomas and Ivan Barbashev. Their fantasy value gets a nice boost by the presence of an elite sniper. Hoffman's time in St. Louis seemed over when he found himself as a healthy scratch at the end of last month, but he returned to the lineup with a goal and now gets a look on the first line. The 31-year-old has seven goals and 21 points for the season. Perron, who boasts 37 points, has been a much more consistent performer. He's riding a three-game point streak ahead of Monday's matchup.
