Jason Arnott (shoulder) is now on the injured reserve list.
The move is probably retroactive Feb. 3, so Arnott can be activated at any time. That being said, we doubt he'll play in Saturday's game.
Kris Russell is questionable Saturday because of the flu.
Russell has five goals and eight points in 41 games this season. He has no fantasy value in standard leagues.
Jason Arnott(shoulder) is expected to practice with the Blues on Friday.
Arnott has been out of action since Saturday with the shoulder injury. He was in Toronto Thursday rehabbing the shoulder and will be looked at by St. Louis doctors on Friday when he returns for practice. Consider him day-to-day.
Brian Elliott replaced Jaroslav Halak with the Blues trailing 3-2 and they came back to win in a shootout.
Ken Hitchcock said that he did not replace Halak because of poor play but because the team was not playing well. "That's why you have to be prepared all the time," Elliott said. "We struggled to start the game and didn't give Jaro much help. It's a little bit tough (coming in cold), but it also makes it easier. You're not thinking about the game all day, you can kind of go in there and play your game and whatever happens, happens. That's what our mind-set was going into the third period."
Jaroslav Halak was pulled in the second period of Thursday's game against the Devils after allowing three goals on 12 shots.
Brian Elliott was perfect in relief and got the win in the shootout. Elliott has been phenomenal this season, but Halak has shown significant improvement under Ken Hitchcock's watch. When Halak is at his best, he is almost unbeatable. Bottom line is that Elliott has been lights out this season but Halak should still be considered the number one goalie in St-Louis, even with the poor performance tonight.
David Perron potted a goal in the Blues' 4-3 shootout win over the New Jersey Devils Thursday night.
With the goal tonight, Perron now has 20 points in 28 games since his return from a concussion. He should be owned in 14-team leagues.
St. Louis has recalled Evgeny Grachev.
He has one goal and three assists in 24 games with the Blues this season and has no fantasy value.
Zambia has won the African Cup of Nations, beating pre-tournament favorite Ivory Coast 8-7 on penalties in a dramatic final at Stade de l'Amitie.
