St. Louis Blues goaltender Jaroslav Halak left Monday's game against the Minnesota Wild late in the first period with a lower-body injury.
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said following the game -- a 4-1 Blues victory -- that Halak will likely miss some time because of the ailment. Hitchcock noted that goaltender Jake Allen, just returned to Peoria of the American Hockey League Saturday, will likely need to return to St. Louis to back up Elliott, who made 19 saves in the win Monday. Halak missed several starts in early February with a sore groin, but it's unclear if Monday's injury is related.

Brian Elliott who was recently brought back to the Blues roster has replaced Halak. Depending on how serious Halak's injury is expect Jake Allen to be recalled.
