WINNIPEG • The longest active games played streak in professional sports has come to an end.

Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester, who was injured late in Saturday's 3-2 win over Ottawa, is not in the Blues' lineup for Sunday's game against the Winnipeg Jets.

Bouwmeester's "Iron man" streak ends at 737 consecutive games played. (He has suited up in 743 straight games including playoffs but those games aren't counted toward the record).

Bouwmeester left the ice in pain in the third period of Saturday's game and did not return. The club labeled it a lower-body injury afterward. He was seen walking out of the locker room with no noticeable difference.

"He has a lower-body ailment, and we'll see how he is in the morning," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said after Saturday's game.

Bouwmeester was expected to receive treatment Sunday morning, with the possibility of playing. But instead, he will be replaced by Chris Butler in the Blues' lineup against the Jets.
