UNDATED (AP) — St. Louis Blues defenseman Carl Gunnarsson is out for the rest of the NHL season with a right knee injury.
Gunnarsson injured the knee when he got tangled up with Kings forward Gabe Vilardi midway through a 3-0 loss on Monday night.
The Blues also said forward Ivan Barbashev will be re-evaluated in six weeks after undergoing surgery on his left ankle.
The team has been without top winger Vladimir Tarasenko for its first 20 games. General manager Doug Armstrong has said the hope is Tarasenko comes back well before the end of the regular season.
