Blues' Stastny out at least 2 games with lower-body injury

St. Louis Blues forward Paul Stastny has a lower-body injury that will keep him from playing in the remaining two games of the club's six-game road trip.

Stastny was injured in the second period of the Blues' 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night.

St. Louis will update his status once the road trip concludes with Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

Veteran forward Scott Gomez will play in Stastny's absence, Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock told Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Stastny has one goal and four assists in five contests.
