ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues will enter the post-Kevin Shattenkirk era when they host the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
Shattenkirk was traded to Washington late Monday night. The Blues received a first-round pick in 2017 and a conditional second-round pick along with forwards Zach Sanford and Brad Malone for the offensively gifted defenseman and goalie Pheonix Copley.
Shattenkirk, 28, had 258 points in 424 games in St. Louis and ranks No. 4 among all NHL defensemen this season with 42 points in 60 games.
