Vladimir Sobotka News
Vladimir Sobotka missed the Ottawa game with an upper body injury and his availability for tonight remains uncertain.

The Blues did not hold a morning skate because of the back-to-back, so we will likely have to wait until 6 p.m EST when they arrive at the rink to see if Sobotka will play.

Sobotka (upper-body) is not skating this morning and is likely out tonight vs. Ottawa.

Sobotka left Saturday's games after he suffered an upper-body injury and did not return. Sobotka played just 9:25 before retiring to the dressing room for the remainder of the night. He has recorded two goals and four assists in his last 10 games.

Sobotka has been quick to recover from his ankle injury so expect the gritty forward to center the fourth line again shortly. He has two goals and 10 points through 27 games.

Quick turnaround for Sobotka, who was injured during practice last week. The gritty forward scored two goals and 10 points over 27 games and should be expected to draw back in when healthy.

Sobotka was hit by an errant shot in practice and was seen in a walking boot after practice. The gritty forward has two goals and 10 points in 27 games playing on all four lines. If he can't play, look for Chris Porter to draw back in.
