Bouwmeester not 100 percent
Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: St. Louis Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester has struggled this season after coming off of hip surgery last spring.
He was made a healthy scratch for the second time this season. Coach Mike Yeo said that Bouwmeester’s hip is not 100 percent.
“I see that physically, he’s not there yet,” Yeo said. “So right now it’s a good opportunity for him to get some extra therapy on his hip, to get some extra work in at practice.”
