NOTES

The three Blues who had to clear waivers to be sent to the minors, forward Beau Bennett and defensemen Petteri Lindbohm and Chris Butler, all got through. Lindbohm and Bennett were sent to Chicago, while Butler was sent to San Antonio as the Blues continue to juggle minor leaguers in a season they don’t have an AHL affiliate. … Robert Thomas, the Blues’ first pick in the 2017 draft, agreed to a three-year entry level contract. Thomas on Wednesday was sent back to his junior team in London, Ontario, after appearing in four preseason games. … Tarasenko will throw out the first pitch at the Cardinals game on Friday. … Kyle Brodziak was called for three slashing penalties. “Brodzie’s one of our top penalty killers so it makes it tough on us as a unit to have those guys in the box,” Yeo said. ... St. Louis product Luke Kunin had the first goal for the Wild.
