The Blues have placed Alex Pietrangelo (lower-body) on IR.
The Blues moved Pietrangelo to IR but did not announce how long he is expected to be out. The move to IR means that he will have to miss at least the next two games, but is eligible to play Saturday vs. the Jets. The Blues used his roster spot to call up Jordan Schmaltz.
Pietrangelo (foot) will not play Sunday; listed as day-to-day.

The Ducks are expected to recall Jaycob Megna from San Diego (AHL) prior to Tuesday's game.
Megna, 24, has one assist in 11 games with the Ducks this season and one assist in three games with San Diego. Megna has been recalled because Hampus Lindholm is questionable for tonight’s game due to an upper-body injury.
The Golden Knights have signed Brayden McNabb to a four-year extension worth $10M ($2.5M AAV).
Theodore will draw into the Golden Knights lineup on Thursday.
Andersson is expected to make his season debut on Thursday.

The Flames have recalled Rasmus Andersson from Stockton (AHL).
Theodore will be back in the Golden Knights lineup on Saturday.
Theodore has sat as a healthy scratch in two of the first three games since being recalled from Chicago (AHL) but he will replace Brad Hunt in the lineup this afternoon. Theodore could be a sneaky fantasy add if he can carve out a large enough role in the Golden Knights offence.
Theodore will make his Golden Knights debut on Tuesday.
After opening the season in the AHL, the Golden Knights finally cleared the way for Theodore to come up on Monday. He sat as a healthy scratch on vs. the Islanders, but will make his debut tonight in New York. The 22-year-old, former first round pick (No.26 overall) is expected to skate with Colin Miller and comes up after recording 11 points (5G / 6A) in eight AHL contests.
Theodore took part in warmups but is listed as a healthy scratch.
Theodore is on the ice for warmups; expected to make his Golden Knights debut in Brooklyn.

Theodore is expected to be recalled from Chicago (AHL) on Monday.
Theodore was only sent to the AHL to start the season because the Golden Knights had a ton of defensemen and he was one of the only players that was waiver exempt. Vegas has been working to clear a spot to bring him up and it looks like the time has finally arrived. Theodore has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in eight AHL games and just might be the Golden Knights’ best defenseman.
