Blues' Ty Rattie: Healthy scratch Thursday

Rattie was a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay.

Analysis:

Rattie had been getting the starting nod over Nail Yakupov the previous two games, but with Alexander Steen (upper body) returning to the lineup, someone had to be scratched. There could be an opportunity for Rattie on the third line, which has not provided much scoring depth for the Blues, but he'll need to show more when he gets his chances. The 23-year-old has just one shot on net in four games played.
