Lehtera will be a game-time decision for Thursday's tilt against the Sabres, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lehtera exited Tuesday's game against Columbus in the first period after taking a high stick to the face from the Jackets' Brandon Saad, and was ultimately unable to return to the contest. If he is unable to go Thursday, Scott Gomez or Kyle Brodziak could slide up to the second line in his absence.
