Stastny is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Analysis:
This news comes as a bit of a surprise, as coach Mike Yeo originally didn't believe Stastny's injury was going to be "anything serious," Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. However, it appears further evaluation led to a far grimmer diagnosis. The Blues reportedly don't plan on calling up a player from the minors to take the veteran pivot's spot in the lineup, so Nail Yakupov will likely see a large bump in ice time during Stastny's absence.
