There’s no date for his return to the line-up, but with Andy McDonald out right now due to a concussion, getting David Perron back in and playing would be a boon to the improving Blues offense. Perron, according to Andy Strickland, has been cleared for contact in practice. For the time being he’s been skating but has been wearing a red no contact jersey.
↵The return of Perron to the regular line-up more than likely means the return of Chris Porter to the Peoria Rivermen. Porter, who scored his first of the season, has been switched out on the fourth line with Ryan Reaves depending on the opponent.
