Berube said Parayko and Schwartz did not travel with the Blues for their six-game road trip.
I reported about Parayko’s back injury earlier in the week. With Schwartz, I’m hearing after my mild concern initially that his injury is fairly serious as well. #stlblues

How close is Vladimir Tarasenko’s return?
“He is getting close,” Blues coach Craig Berube said. “He’s itching and ready to go.”
How will the club get him under the cap?
“Great question,” said former Wild front-office executive Ben Resnick.
