The St. Louis Blues will have Paul Stastny back in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The center, who hasn't played since Jan. 8 after taking a puck to the face, will don a cage and a wicked scar on his left cheek.

Head coach Ken Hitchcock said Stastny "dodged a bullet" by not suffering a more serious injury.
Stastny has recorded three goals and 15 assists in 28 games this season.
