St. Louis Blues defenseman Tyler Tucker will sit out Friday's matchup against New Jersey as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old will take up a familiar place in the press box, as Tucker was also scratched for two consecutive games before returning to the lineup in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat against the Avalanche. He has tallied one goal in six appearances this season, adding six blocks with nine hits. Robert Bortuzzo will take over from Tucker on Friday, jumping into action for only the third time this season.
