Neal scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Neal has played in three of the Blues' four games this year, and this was his first contribution to the offense. The 34-year-old is no lock to stay in the lineup once Pavel Buchnevich (suspension) returns Monday. Neal is likely to be an extra forward after Brandon Saad clears COVID-19 protocols, but for now Neal could stick in a bottom-six role as a power-play specialist.
