Lehtera (illness) will not be in Saturday's lineup against the Hurricanes, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old center has played two games since returning from a concussion, recording a goal and an assist. Lehtera seemed to bounce back quick and was even given power-play ice time in both games. For now, Zach Sanford will fill in at center, and Lehtera's next chance to play will be in the Sunday's regular season finale against Colorado.

Lehtera scored a goal, blocked two shots and delivered a hit over 15:03 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Lehtera, who had been sidelined by a concussion, played in his first game since March 10 and scored his first goal since Feb, 16. We've all watched his offensive production drop this season, but his spot at center on a line with Vladimir Tarasenko kept him somewhat relevant in fantasy circles. Now that he's a winger buried on the third line, far away from Tarasenko, Lehtera's fantasy prospects are dim.

Lehtera (concussion) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Winnipeg, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Finn had already declared himself fit for game-action after Monday's practice, and now we have confirmation. During Tuesday's morning skate, Lehtera took rushes as the third-line left wing and was on the team's first power-play unit. Lehtera hasn't produced much offensively this season, but he is a skilled player that will have greater opportunity to get on the scoresheet with increased time on the man-advantage.

Lehtera (concussion) feels that he's ready to play Tuesday against Winnipeg, but a final decision will be made by coaches, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Finnish center suffered the injury after colliding with Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieksa on March 10 and has been out of the lineup ever since. Despite his offensive production dipping to just 19 points in 61 games, the Blues rely on Lehtera to give them around 15 minutes of ice per game and will be anxious to have him back in the lineup as they head in to the postseason.

Lehtera (concussion) is listed as out for Monday's game against Arizona, Tom Timmerman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues have danced around this injury since Lehtera was scratched from a game two weeks ago after taking a puck off the head. Monday's game will be the ninth consecutive one he's missed and there's no indication that Lehtera's close to returning.

Lehtera (concussion) rode the stationary bike at Friday's practice, which all but rules him out for Saturday's game against the Flames, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Until he can get back on the ice for at least a practice or two, Lehtera will remain without a firm timeline to return. The 29-year-old was riding an eight-game point-less streak before missing his last seven games to injury, so he's not likely to be considered a hot commodity in most formats as the fantasy season winds down.

Coach Mike Yeo was unable to provide much of an update Tuesday on the status of Lehtera, who has missed five games due to concussion symptoms, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

"No, nothing there," Yeo said when asked about the forward's status in advance of Tuesday's game against the Avs. Consider Lehtera day-to-day for the time being.

Lehtera is suffering from a possible concussion and isn't expected to join the team as the travel to face the Avalanche, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. He's considered day-to-day because of the issue, UPI reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lehtera hasn't taken the ice for five straight contests and appears set to miss a sixth game Tuesday. Despite pretty regularly skating among the team's top-six forwards when healthy, his scoring rate isn't very attractive from a fantasy standpoint. His value mainly lies in the deepest of leagues, but he does average enough ice time for consideration in daily contests.

Lehtera's injury that forced him to stay home while the Blues traveled for a West Coast swing has been ruled an upper-body injury, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initially, the Blues hadn't indicated the nature of the injury, though it was commonly thought Lehtera suffered the injury after taking a puck to the head last Friday against Anaheim. Regardless of how the Blues want to classify the injury, the fact that Lehtera was left home leaves his availability for the rest of the road trip, which runs through next Tuesday, uncertain. Ivan Barbashev has stepped into the active lineup as a result.

Lehtera (head) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lehtera didn't even make the trip with the Blues to Los Angeles, suggesting that his status for the remaining four games of the team's West Coast road swing could be peril. The center first succumbed to the head injury after taking a puck to the head in Friday's win over the Ducks, but the Blues haven't indicated whether Lehtera is suffering from concussion-like symptoms.
