Blues' Alexei Toropchenko: Moves to IR

Toropchenko (leg) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Toropchenko is considered week-to-week after sustaining scalding burns to his legs in an accident at home. The 26-year-old's move to IR frees up a roster spot for the Blues should they need to call up reinforcements.
