Blues' Paul Stastny: Expected to play Thursday

The lower-body injury Stastny suffered during Tuesday's game in Colorado is not serious, according to coach Mike Yeo, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Stastny left Tuesday's game after taking a Vladimir Tarasenko shot off the right skate, but Yeo said that wasn't the reason he was pulled from the game. The coach said he "tweaked something" and is expected him back for Thursday's game against Vancouver.
