It's that time of year again - but for the Blues, "that time of year" has been all season long.
The Blues have been playing musical chairs with their line-up all season long thanks to an injury bug that they can't shake. What's two more players out for the rest of the regular season?
St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today that forward David Backes and goaltender Jake Allen will miss the remainder of the regular season with lower-body injuries.
Both will be re-evaluated at the conclusion of the regular season.
