St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko is dealing with an upper-body injury and will be re-evaluated in 10 days, the team announced Sunday.

Tarasenko suffered the ailment during Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Kings and did not play Saturday against the San Jose Sharks.

Jaden Schwartz took Tarasenko's spot on the top line alongside Ryan O'Reilly and Brayden Schenn during Saturday's overtime loss.

Tarasenko started the season off slow after recovering from offseason shoulder surgery but has been red-hot of late, tallying 34 points in his last 26 games. He leads the Blues with 28 goals on the season.

St. Louis is comfortably in a playoff spot, sitting third in the Central Division with 79 points.
