Jori Lehtera

Jori Lehtera will be a game-time call Thursday for Blues

St. Louis Blues center Jori Lehtera (upper body) will be a game-time decision against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday.

What It Means:

He will participate in the pregame skate after he took a stick to the throat on Tuesday and went to the hospital for observation.

Lehtera has played in all 19 of the Blues' games this season, recording 10 points (two goals, eight assists). He's tied for the team lead in assists, despite being being sixth in average time on ice among forwards. We project him to score 12 goals and tally 29 assists over the remaining course of the season. The 51 total points would surpass his career high by seven.
