Lehtera returned to the lineup Thursday after a four-game absence, getting off two shots on goal and doling out one hit in 18:02 of ice time in the Blues' 2-1 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

That's considerable ice time for Lehtera, whose absence was labelled an upper-body injury, but in fact was due to a concussion. He came back to the "STL" line, skating with Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko, but not as the pivot. Schwartz has moved to center, so Lehtera skated on the left wing.
