The St. Louis Blues have recalled defenseman Logan Mailloux from his conditioning assignment from Springfield of the American Hockey League and has joined the team for its final game of a four-game road trip against the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
Mailloux, 23, underwent surgery on a broken right hand on Sept. 28 after suffering the injury in the Blues’ final preseason game on Sept. 26 against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Blues coach Jim Montgomery said prior to the team departing on its road trip, including a 5-4 win over the Detroit Red Wings, a 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers and on Thursday, a 5-4 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils, that there is a possibility Mailloux could return against the Predators albeit a slight one and that realistically, he could return against the Red Wings when the Blues next play at home on Tuesday.
