UPDATE (Dec. 30 at 4:11 p.m. CT) - "I can't give you the timeline, but I can tell you it's better than we originally thought it was," Blues Head Coach Drew Bannister said of Justin Faulk's lower-body injury. "I don't think it's day to day. Until we get back and see over the next two days how he recovers, and possibly at that point, get him possibly on the ice and see how he feels when he skates."

Justin Faulk sustained a lower-body injury in the final minute of Friday's game against the Colorado Avalanche and will not accompany the team on its trip to meet the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

"Right now we're going to leave him behind to be evaluated and I guess that's kind of the update I have right now," Blues Head Coach Drew Bannister said. "But we won't be available for us (Saturday)."

Faulk appeared to be injured in the offensive zone on the final shift of the game. He was helped to the locker room after slowly skating off the ice after the final buzzer.

Through 35 games this season, Faulk has recorded two goals and 15 assists to go along with a plus-2 rating.
