Blues' Dmitrij Jaskin: Nears return

Coach Mike Yeo noted Monday that Jaskin (upper body) is getting "close" to returning to action, the Blues' official site reports.

Jaskin is not slated to suit up Monday at home against the Coyotes, but he is apparently closer to a return than either Paul Stastny or Jori Lehtera, both of whom Yeo didn't offer Monday updates on. Jaskin's next chance to play arrives Wednesday, when the Blues face Arizona on the road.
