With the Blues’ next two games postponed due to Covid-19 travel concerns, the team has plenty of extra time for their rash of injured players to heal up, along with Oskar Sundqvist, currently on the protocol list.
The first player to return was one who was already on his way back. Klim Kostin was assigned to a conditioning stint with the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds earlier this week. Today, he gets activated from LTIR. With Kostin’s $863,333 salary going back on the books, the Blues will be sending their two most recent recalls back to the AHL.
