Hoffman to make Blues debut on Friday by Chris Pinkert / St. Louis Blues
Mike Hoffman will make his debut with the St. Louis Blues on Friday night against the Colorado Avalanche (8 p.m. CT, FSMW, 101 ESPN).
Hoffman was unable to play on Opening Night because his work visa had not yet been approved.
On Friday morning, Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong said that issue was squared away. It was a bit of a surprise last game for everybody, including him, Head Coach Craig Berube said. Disappointing, he obviously wanted to play his first game as a Blue. He ll get his first opportunity tonight.
