Only 3 games into the season, the Blues have plenty to talk about. So lets get started...
Defenseman Barret Jackman sprains ankle; goes on IR (per Jeremy Rutherford).
Jackman will have to miss at least seven days, according to NHL injury reserve stipulations. The Blues have claimed that this injury is “week to week.” Jackman was a -1 to start the season, while posting 2 assists.

When the St. Louis Blues drafted Barret Jackman 17th overall in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, they thought that they were getting something special. With Al MacInnis aging and Chris Pronger making All-Star caliber paychecks, the team knew that a young guy had to be brought in to step in and take charge. Jackman had a great season with the Regina Pats of the WHL in 2000-01, and continued that strong play in St. Louis the following season. After winning the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year that season, the future was looking bright for the tough defenseman. But things can go sour as quickly as they get sweet.

After a 27-11-7 run spanning through the 2009 calendar year, the Blues did the unthinkable and snuck into the NHL playoffs. They will take on the third-seeded Vancouver Canucks when they open the series in Vancouver on Wednesday. After a 2-2-0 record against the Canucks this season, how will the Blues fair in this 2003 Quarterfinal rematch?
