“These are short-term injuries. Everybody’s got them,” Hitchcock said after Wednesday’s practice. “We’ve been lucky so far. We’ve got three or four quality forwards out, but everybody’s got that going. We’ll get through this fine.”
Chris Porter and Andrew Murray have been recalled from the Peoria Rivermen of the American Hockey League.
Rookie Vladimir Tarasenko is also on the IR for the Blues.
