CHICAGO - The forward lines and defense pairings are expected to stay the same for the fifth consecutive game on Wednesday when the Blues wrap up their regular-season series with the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center (7 p.m., NBCSN, Y98).

"I don't see a reason to change it," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said of his lineup. "We've managed the ice times the last two weeks pretty well and guys feel good."

Jake Allen was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, typically a good indicator that he will start in goal.

With a win, the Blues would move into a three-way tie for first in the Central Division with two games left to play.
