Alex Pietrangelo's (lower body) status for Game 3 on Thursday is still unknown. Pietrangelo missed Game 2 due to the ailment. "He's day to day," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "He tried it (Monday) and he's still sore. It's a big hole. Not a lot different if (LA) lost (Drew) Doughty ... same thing. But I think with a full two days off, hopefully he's good to go (Thursday). Unfortunately he couldn't play (Monday). But we need him back in the lineup ." The good news is Pietrangelo skated with the Blues on Tuesday.
