St. Louis Blues forward Jaden Schwartz will miss the start of the regular season with a left elbow injury.

The team announced Friday that Schwartz suffered the injury during a training camp practice on Sept. 29. He’s expected to be out at least four weeks.

It’s a disappointing setback for Schwartz. The 24-year-old played just 33 games of the 2015-16 regular season after fracturing his ankle last October. He did suit up for all 20 Blues playoff games, where he registered 14 points.
