In an exciting development for the St. Louis Blues, forward Jake Neighbours will be elevated to the second line alongside Brandon Saad and Brayden Schenn when the team concludes their four-game road trip against the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday night. The game, which will be broadcasted on Bally Sports and 101 ESPN, marks the end of an eight-day journey for the Blues.

Neighbours' recent performance has caught the attention of the coaching staff, as he has scored goals in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. He found the back of the net on Saturday in Los Angeles and continued his hot streak with another goal on Sunday in Anaheim. Now, he aims to extend that streak as the Blues head home for Thanksgiving.

Blues Head Coach Craig Berube praised Neighbours' ability to contribute to the team's offensive efforts. Berube stated, "With Schenn and Saad, he can get in there and forecheck and create some opportunities for those guys. He's really strong in puck battles and things like that. And I really like his skating right now. He's a guy that can finish around the net, he's got a nose for the net and he gets to the net."

This promotion is a testament to Neighbours' hard work and potential. Berube emphasized that Neighbours is a young player who will play a significant role in the future of the team and has earned the opportunity to move up to the second line.

In addition to Neighbours' promotion, the Blues will also see Sammy Blais returning to the lineup after missing Sunday's game against Anaheim. Blais, known for his physical presence on the ice, is ranked third in the NHL in hits this season with an impressive 60 hits. He will slot in on the fourth line alongside Nikita Alexandrov and Oskar Sundqvist.

As for the defensive pairs, Nick Leddy will be paired with Colton Parayko, Torey Krug with Justin Faulk, and Marco Scandella with Scott Perunovich.

With the lineup adjustments and the team's strong performance during the road trip, the Blues have high hopes of securing another victory against the Coyotes. The game promises to be filled with excitement as Neighbours aims to continue his scoring streak on the second line.

Fans can catch the action on Bally Sports and 101 ESPN, starting at 8 p.m. CT.
