Scott Nichol (shoulder) should play in a preseason game this week. The Blues are scheduled to play on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, but the team hasn't decided when he'll play. "We'll wait and see," Blues coach Davis Payne said. "We'll announce that lineup tomorrow. We'd definitely like to see him in there as soon as possible, tomorrow being as soon as possible." Nichol has been recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. We'll keep you posted.
