Activated off IR Bjugstad (upper body) was taken off injured reserve and will face the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Bjugstad will return to the lineup following a 15-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Before getting hurt, the veteran forward was struggling to produce offensively, going 10 games without producing a point while only adding 13 shots. Even with his injury woes behind him, Bjugstad's lack of production could see him serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Designated for injured reserve Bjugstad (upper body) was shifted to injured reserve Tuesday, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact Bjugstad's move to IR comes on the heels of the Blues claiming Jonatan Berggren off waivers Tuesday, as the team needed to free up a roster spot. Bjugstad has already missed three straight games, so he's eligible to return to the lineup at any time. The 33-year-old forward has garnered four goals, five points, 52 hits and a minus-4 rating over 25 games this year.
