Dunn returns to Blues' lineup for Game 4

The St. Louis Blues got a boost to their blue line Monday night in Game 4 against the Boston Bruins with defenseman Vince Dunn making his return.

Dunn took a puck to the face in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final and hasn't played since, but he confirmed Monday afternoon to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston that he returns despite not feeling 100 percent.

Vince Dunn returns to the #stlblues lineup tonight but says he's still in discomfort after taking a puck to the mouth in the WCF: "There's a lot going on in my mouth right now."

The 22-year-old took part in St. Louis' practice on Monday morning alongside Game 2 hero Carl Gunnarsson on the club's third pairing.

Dunn racked up 35 points in 78 regular-season games and has chipped in seven more in 16 postseason contests.

The Blues enter Game 4 facing a 2-1 series deficit.
