Blues Place Stastny on Injured Reserve

Wednesday, Oct. 21

The team announced Wednesday doctors will re-evaluate Stastny in five weeks to determine when he might return to the ice. The 29-year-old hasn't played since St. Louis' 4-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 16.

He's one of a few key players out injured for the Blues, and NHL.com's Lou Korac believes the team will continue finding a way to collect points:

Stastny played in 74 games last year, scoring 16 goals and assisting on another 30. While not the most dynamic threat going forward for the Blues, he unquestionably brings a lot of value to the team.

The impact of his absence is compounded by the fact center Robby Fabbri remains out while he recovers from a concussion he suffered in the team's second game of the year.

Scott Gomez has stepped up to take a larger role with Fabbri and Stastny out, and he'll need to keep doing so in order for St. Louis to remain atop the Central Division.
