Neal and Kostin’s assignments to the injured reserve a test of the Blues’ depth

Sometimes, when you think things are back on track, the track winds up missing a section or two. With the return of Brayden Schenn last Wednesday against the Red Wings, the Blues had everyone healthy for exactly... zero minutes.

What happened?

James Neal tweaked something in practice before the Detroit game. Then, in the second period of Friday’s overtime loss to the Blackhawks, David Perron was hit by Jake McCabe. His head made contact with the glass, and Perron hasn’t been seen since. It’s assumed that, for now, his status is day-to-day with an upper body injury.
