The St. Louis Blues on Saturday acquired goaltender Anders Nilsson from the Edmonton Oilers for goaltender Niklas Lundstrom and a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft.
Nilsson provides insurance for the Blues, who recently lost goalie Brian Elliott to a lower-body injury. Elliott will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Jake Allen, who returned Monday after missing 17 games with a lower-body injury, took over the No. 1 goaltending duties with Elliott sidelined.
