St. Louis Blues activate defenseman Logan Mailloux from injured reserve

The St. Louis Blues have activated defenseman Logan Mailloux from injured reserve for his season debut against the Detroit Red Wings. Mailloux, 23, is expected to start on the top defensive pairing alongside Philip Broberg.

Mailloux has been sidelined since September following surgery for a right-hand injury sustained during a preseason fight with Chicago Blackhawks forward Cole Smith. Before his injury, Mailloux played 67 games for the Blues last season, recording 13 points.

In addition to Mailloux's activation, the Blues recalled defenseman Calle Rosén from the Springfield Thunderbirds of the AHL. To facilitate these moves, the team assigned defensive prospects Adam Jiricek and Theo Lindstein to the AHL.
