After going down with an injury against the Ottawa Senators, St. Louis Blues star winger Jordan Kyrou was down on the ice for quite a while. After being helped to the bench and into the locker room, he missed the rest of the game and then the entirety of the contest against Montreal.
Today, head coach Jim Montgomery gave an update on his most recent MRI, and it is better than expected news. Kyrou has now been moved to week-to-week, and not any longer than that.
"It's kind of what we thought it would be. We're happy with the results of the MRI considering it could have been longer," Montgomery said. "We know it's at least a week and we're labeling it week-to-week right now."
The Blues have won back-to-back games to finish out their road trip without Kyrou, who also joined Jimmy Snuggerud, Nathan Walker, and Alexey Toropchenko as key forwards on the injury list. They were not pretty wins, but the banged-up offense was able to get it done.
No. 25 is a key piece to this Blues puzzle, and his goal-scoring will be missed the most. Hopefully, this injury is not any longer then a few weeks and we could see Kyrou back on the ice before the end of the calendar year.
