The St. Louis Blues have recalled Calle Rosen from the AHL, indicating that injured defensemen Justin Faulk and Scott Perunovich are not ready to play. The team's first practice since the break saw Kapanen skating, but Faulk and Perunovich were not. Both Faulk and Perunovich are week-to-week with lower-body injuries, with Perunovich potentially returning sooner than Faulk. Faulk's injury is new, not a recurrence, while Perunovich was in a boot before the break. Thomas also had a minor injury but is expected to be okay. Preds' Philip Tomasino was the first on the ice for their practice post the bye week.
Bannister says Faulk and Perunovich are both week to week with lower-body injuries. He said Faulk’s injury was not a recurrence; it was a new injury from the Calgary game. He added Perunovich could be back sooner than Faulk. #stlblues
Faulk and Perunovich are both week to week according to Drew Bannister. Faulk's injury is not a recurring one from the previous one he had. Was injured again in Calgary. Thomas took a puck off the side of his face in a drill today but Bannister said he should be OK. #stlblues
Scott Perunovich and Justin Faulk are both week-to-week with lower-body injuries, Drew Bannister said. #stlblues
Preds about to hit their first practice after the bye week. Philip Tomasino first on the ice. https://t.co/P8W6qpzYUj
The Blues are back on the ice for their first practice since the break. Kapanen is skating, but Faulk and Perunovich are not. #stlblues
No Scott Perunovich or Justin Faulk on the ice for Blues practice this afternoon.
#stlblues hitting the ice for practice post All-Star break. Kapanen (LBI) on the ice; Faulk (LBI) and Perunovich (LBI) not skating.
#stlblues have recalled Calle Rosen from @ThunderbirdsAHL. Likely means one of the injured defensemen (Faulk, Perunovich) aren’t ready to go. Perunovich was in a boot before the break. The team is in the ice at 2, so more will be known then.
