Jokinen (upper body) will remain out of the lineup until the weekend, NHL.com's Lou Korac reports. He'll sit for a second straight game Thursday against the Flyers due to the injury, but coach Ken Hitchcock hopes to get the center back in the lineup for one of the Blues' two matches Saturday and Sunday. Jokinen was able to skate with the team Thursday, which would seem to validate the belief that his injury is minor.
