Blues' Tarasenko day to day with upper-body injury

St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not play against the Chicago Blackhawks Sunday, the team announced.

The 26-year-old left Saturday night's game against the New York Rangers after the first period and did not return. The injury new comes with Tarasenko in the midst of a down period offensively, having notched just one goal and three points in his last seven games.

Although they have just four wins in their last 10 games, the Blues sit just three points out of the final wild-card spot heading into Sunday's contest.
