Adam Jiricek Recalled By Blues Following Logan Mailloux Injury

Adam Jiricek's assignment to Springfield was abruptly cut short when the St. Louis Blues recalled the 20-year-old defenseman following Logan Mailloux's right-hand injury that requires surgery and an eight-week absence. After a strong training camp under coach Jim Montgomery, Jiricek is expected to make his NHL debut in the season-opener against Dallas, potentially receiving immediate power-play duties while paired with a veteran defenseman on the blue line.
