Jaden Schwartz: Activated, expected to return Friday

Schwartz (ankle) has been activated from injured reserve and is expected to rejoin the lineup for Friday's game against the Panthers.

Analysis:

Schwartz's activation certainly makes it seem as though he'll join his teammates on the ice for Friday's contest, but an official confirmation should come closer to the game. The 23-year-old winger skated alongside Jori Lehtera and Vladimir Tarasenko during practice Wednesday, and will likely slot in there Friday, assuming he plays. A 60-point man last year, Schwartz should provide the Blues with some much-needed firepower as they begin inching towards the playoffs.
