Blues' Kyle Brodziak: Returns to action Saturday

Brodziak had one shot and won nine of 14 faceoffs over 12 minutes of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

Analysis:

Brodziak returned a couple of weeks early from a foot injury and was back centering the fourth line. He was also back on the penalty-kill unit, a group that got plenty of work Saturday as nearly five minutes of Brodziak's ice time came with the Blues a man down.
