He was reportedly injured during a 4-1 win over the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/knights\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>\u00a0although he played 16:25 in that game and had two assists.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the team officially put him on injured reserve. He&#8217;s already missed three games and is expected to miss at least another four.<\/p>\n<p>So far this season, Schwartz has scored two goals and seven assists for nine points to go along with eight minutes in penalties in 15 games. His possession numbers were 52.8 percent Corsi-For and a relative Corsi of +8.4.<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz has spent his\u00a0entire eight-year NHL career with the Blues. He has 115 goals and 165 assists for 280 career points in 395 career games. He was originally drafted by the Blues in the first round, 14th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n<h2>Impact To St. Louis<\/h2>\n<p>At the same time\u00a0that Schwartz was being put on injured reserve, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/maroopa01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrick Maroon<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was activated off of it. He will return to the lineup Friday night against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/predators\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nashville Predators<\/a>. That will mitigate some of the loss, but the Blues have been struggling this season, currently last in the Central division, and losing players to injury isn&#8217;t helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz isn&#8217;t the biggest contributor\u00a0offensively, but he leads the team in Corsi outside of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/butlech01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Butler<\/a><\/strong>, who has played only two games.

After the Predators, the Blues will host the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/nhl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_self\">Winnipeg Jets<\/a> on Saturday night. A quick return to the line up is preferred, but the feeling is the Blues don&#8217;t want to rush Schwartz&#8217;s return in case of further injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The St. Louis\u00a0Blues announced that left winger Jaden Schwartz is sidelined until December with an upper-body injury.
