St. Louis Blues forward Jaden Schwartz skated Sunday for the first time since fracturing his ankle in October, but he is not expected to return to the lineup until after the NHL's All-Star Weekend, taking place from Jan. 30-31, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The 23-year-old was originally projected to miss at least 12 weeks with the injury, though the recent update means he will actually miss up to 14 weeks. He was injured after falling into a goalpost during practice.

Schwartz recorded four assists in seven games prior to the injury.
