Rick Sadowski: Donskoi still isn't ready; Grubauer likely starts vs Blues

So, we meet again. Blues were TERRIBLE last meeting. That is still fresh in their minds. Expect a tougher game today. Avs have the top line back together is see. Good. Just one line to keep if the boards. Glad Donskoi is out but not happy for the reason why. He is a good player. Never like to hear about concussions. Blues 4-2. No empty net. Blues are coming off a ot loss to the Flyers. Played like crap half the game. Came back from a 2 goal deficit with 10 minutes left to force ot. I expect that game left a sour taste in their mouths as well as losing to you guys as bad as they did last game will fuel them. Hope for no injuries and a clean hard hitting central division matchup

That didn't look like the blues we are used to seeing. I thought the game was very entertaining, but both teams had a ton of miscues and turnovers. Could have gone either way, Avs needed that win more. As an Avs fan, I would hate to play St Louis in the playoffs
