David Backes is reportedly making progress from an upper body injury. Doctors will take another look at him on Monday, though. The St. Louis Blues would only reveal that the power forward is dealing with an upper body injury. On the bright side, head coach Davis Payne said that Backes is feeling much better than he did after that Chris Pronger hit on Saturday, though his captain is still "sore and stiff." Stay tuned for an update on his progress sometime on Oct. 24.
