That means Kyle Brodziak will remain in a bigger role on the second line with Alexander Steen and Patrik Berglund.

In Saturday's 7-2 win against the Kings, Brodziak recorded a goal and an assist. The goal - his 10th of the season - is the most he's scored in one season since recording 22 in 2011-12 with Minnesota.

"(I'm just) trying to help out and chip in with a little bit bigger role lately. That's what's needed of me and hopefully our line can continue doing that," Brodziak said after Monday's morning skate in Anaheim. "I feel good. Physically I feel like this is the best I've felt in a long time. Just getting the opportunity now with the way things went down (with the trade of Paul Stastny), there was a chance for some guys to get a bigger role. I'm just trying to make the best of it."

"He's obviously a veteran presence that understands his game and he's a competitor," Blues Head Coach Mike Yeo said. "He's going to find a way to go out there and find a way to be effective in games, whether he scores, whether he doesn't. He's going to find a way to contribute, could be faceoffs, penalty kiling, could be momentum… he does little things right and that's why as coaches you like those guys."
