Garners helper Leddy produced an assist, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.

Impact This was Leddy's first point in 10 games since he returned from a long-term lower-body injury that cost him about 49 contests. The 33-year-old was playing in a limited role for the most part since his return, but he was elevated to the top pairing at even strength with Colton Parayko (knee) now out of the lineup for the rest of the regular season. Leddy has added 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 14 appearances this season. His best years on offense are behind him, so it's unlikely he'll be much of a factor in fantasy.

Impact Leddy has missed the Blues' past three games, but the fact that he'll travel with the team suggests he might be close to returning.

Misses practice Wednesday Leddy wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice session due to a lower-body injury, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Leddy hasn't been ruled out versus the Islanders on Thursday yet but could still be held out. The fact that the Blues are carrying eight defensemen on their 23-man roster might also factor into the decision to put Leddy on the shelf for a game even if his lower-body injury is deemed minor. Pierre-Olivier Joseph appears to have the inside track for replacing Leddy if necessary, though Scott Perunovich is also waiting for an opportunity to play.
