Bozak (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Bozak has only been back for two games after recovering from a concussion. It's unclear if this injury is new or related to his previous absence. Dakota Joshua will center the third line with Bozak out.

Bozak scored a shorthanded goal in Friday's 2-1 shootout win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

With Zach Sanford in the penalty box for goaltender interference, Bozak was able to net the Blues' lone goal of the game in the third period. The tally was Bozak's first of the year, in just his second game back from a concussion that forced him to miss 21 contests. The 35-year-old center has three points in nine outings. He'll likely continue in a third-line role for now.

Bozak (concussion) was activated from long-term injured reserve to play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bozak revealed that he suffered a concussion after taking a high hit from Golden Knights forward Mark Stone on Jan. 26. The 34-year-old has cleared protocol and is slated to center the third line upon return to the lineup. Bozak isn't expected to rack up points, but he's a strong penalty killer, which should boost a Blues defense that has shown weakness lately.

Bozak (upper body) skated with the team Monday and will play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bozak will be activated from long-term injured reserve before Wednesday's contest. The 34-year-old hasn't played since Jan. 26, when he suffered an upper-body injury as a result of a high hit from Golden Knights forward Mark Stone. Bozak should center the third line upon return, and he'll provide an immediate boost to the team's penalty kill.

Bozak (upper body) is traveling with the team but hasn't joined practice as of Monday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bozak was apparently skating on his own last week, but he hasn't been cleared to return to team practices yet. However, the fact that he's traveling with the team bodes well for his chances to return during this road trip, which extends through a March 8 matchup versus the Sharks. The Blues could desperately use Bozak back in the lineup, as they're also playing without centers Robert Thomas (thumb), Ivan Barbashev (ankle) and Jacob De La Rose (lower body). Once Bozak is given the green light, he should immediately return to the third-line center role.

Bozak (upper body) skated on his own Tuesday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bozak hasn't played since Jan. 26. He's making progress toward his return to the lineup, and head coach Craig Berube said that Bozak could return to practice Wednesday if he avoids a setback. A quick return to the lineup would be a major boost for the Blues, who are already without Robert Thomas (thumb) and Ivan Barbashev (ankle) long term.

Bozak (upper body) was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 26 on Friday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Bozak remains without a timetable to return but his placement on injured reserve is most likely just a paper move. He's already missed the last four games, so he'll be eligible to return whenever he's healthy. The 34-year-old has two assists in seven games this season.

Bozak (upper body) isn't expected to play Tuesday against Arizona, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bozak will miss a third straight game with his upper-body issue. He's still considered day-to-day, but Bozak has yet to resume skating, so he may still be a ways off from returning. The veteran forward has picked up two helpers through seven games this campaign.

Coach Craig Berube doesn't expect Bozak (upper body) to be available for Saturday or Sunday's game against Anaheim, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bozak will almost certainly have to wait for Tuesday's clash with the Coyotes for his next opportunity to rejoin the lineup. The 34-year-old vet has picked up two helpers through seven games this campaign.

Bozak is dealing with an upper-body injury and won't be available versus Vegas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

In seven games this season, Bozak has managed a mere two shots, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see he has yet to score a goal. The natural center has registered two assists, two hits and five blocks while averaging 13:16 of ice time in those contests. Sammy Blais looks to move into a third-line role with Bozak on the shelf.
