Ott (hamstring) is on the ice for pregame warmups, but didn't take part in line rushes, indicating he won't be in the lineup for Friday's Game 2 against the Blackhawks, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ott hasn't played since he sustained a hamstring injury on Dec. 5 against the Maple Leafs, but appears to be on the verge of returning to game action given his presence on the ice during pregame warmups Friday evening. His impending return to the Blues' lineup won't have any affect on fantasy owners, as the 33-year-old forward has only notched two assists while averaging 10:55 of ice time over 21 games this season. The Blues should provide an update on Ott's Status ahead of Sunday's Game 3 against Chicago.
