Afternoon quick hits

Just a few quick hits for you Blues fans. It appears Chris Butler and Colin Fraser cleared waivers and that Brian Elliott will start tonight at the Scottrade and get two out of the last three preseason games.

Per JR, here is tonight's expected lineup:
Berglund - Backes - Oshie
Steen - Stastny - Lindstrom
Fabbri - Lehtera - Tarasenko
Mueller - Jaskin - Paajarvi (the prove who should still be here line)
Bouwmeester - Shattenkirk
Lindbohm - Pietrangelo
Jackman - Prosser
Elliott

As far as Carolina, according to their beat writer Chip Alexander, the lineup will likely be as follows:

J. Tlusty/ E.Staal/ A. Semin
J. Skinner/R. Nash/E. Lindholm
V. Rask/C. Terry/B. McGinn
B. Malone/B. Sutter/P. Brown
A. Sekera/ J. Faulk
J. Harrison/ R. Murphy
H. Fleury/D. Biega
Cam Ward (getting the start with some motivation because of Muller?)

I'll be back tomorrow with my thoughts on the game. As always, it's a great day for hockey.
