No Kasperi Kapanen at Blues practice this morning.
Kasperi Kapanen is not skating today. He blocked a shot with left leg/ankle by #Flyers defenseman Nick Seeler with 7:25 left in the game Monday and did not skate in yesterday's optional. He did finish the game Monday but that looked painful at the time. #stlblues
