Fresh off of the news that defenseman Torey Krug has been placed on the Covid-19 protocol list (and following news that Brayden Schenn is returning to St. Louis for evaluation after getting injured during the first period of the Blues’ win over San Jose on Thursday night) comes word that fellow defenseman Niko Mikkola will join him on that list.
Mikkola becomes the six member of the Blues to have been placed on the list this season. Brandon Saad returned on Wednesday against the Kings, and Ryan O’Reilly is set to return tomorrow against the Anaheim Ducks.
