Perrault (thumb) isn't expected to play Tuesday night versus the Blues, though he did travel with the team to St. Louis and is said to be nearing a return, Jason Bell of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite tending to a broken thumb, Perrault has only been sidelined for two games (with a third upcoming) due to the ailment. The All-Star break afforded him some additional time to heal, and it's encouraging that he was able to join the team charter to The Gateway City. He was on a beastly run before sustaining the ailment, pitching in six assists and seven points -- including four power-play setups -- over a 10-game span. As such, it certainly will be worth monitoring Perrault as he rounds out his recovery.
