Alexei Toropchenko Injury: Won't return Thursday

Toropchenko, who is dealing with injuries to both his upper and lower body, is slated to remain out of the lineup Thursday versus Utah, per Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Toropchenko hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 9. When he's healthy, the 26-year-old will likely take a spot on the Blues' bottom six, and that would potentially push Alexandre Texier out of the lineup.
