(10-20-26) Jets-Blues Gameday Lineup

The St. Louis Blues will welcome the Winnipeg Jets to open a five-game homestand, with two young defensemen making their NHL debuts after strong showings in the AHL.

Aleksanteri Kaskimaki and Otto Stenberg, both recalled from Springfield, are expected to bring offensive energy to the blue line, per coach Jim Montgomery’s instructions to play with greater aggression. Kaskimaki, who scored two goals and five assists in six games with the Thunderbirds—both goals on the power play—has carried momentum from a productive training camp, while Stenberg, who struggled early but rebounded with a goal and three assists in his AHL stint, aims to replicate his 32-game NHL campaign from last season.

Both players emphasized confidence and trust in their instincts, with Stenberg noting his improved puck-handling and defensive responsibility after a setback in being sent down initially.
