Wrist injury is why Oshie left in the 1st period last night. He returned anf scored the Blues' second goal. Said after game nothing serious.
Oshie may miss tomorrow's game due to precautionary measures. The Mount Vernon, Washington native scored six goals and 13 points which includes a two-point effort in last night's overtime loss.

Oshie moves back onto the top line with David Backes and Vladimir Sobotka. The Washington native has one goal and five points through his last 10 games.

Blues coach Davis Payne benched the winger for the entire second period, and while he declined to give a reason for it after the game, it seemed to stem from a turnover by Oshie late in the final minute of the opening period.
Oshie has struggled under coach Davis Payne in the past for one reason or another. At this point he looks like a player who will never truly break out in St. Louis; don't hold out for anything more than 20 goals and 50 points.

Working with Berglund and Stewart, two powerful forwards with considerable offensive ability of their own, should give Oshie ample room to operate.
Oshie starts the season on the second line but should produce regardless. Last season he scored 12 goals and 34 points through 49 games including nine PP. Expect all of those totals to improve with a full season with Patrik Berglund and Chris Stewart.

"This is a situation that we've talked about," Payne said. "(Colaiacovo) is a guy that is effective there. But you look at a scenario where a guy (Oshie) gets in and does the job, that's where the internal pressure exists.
Oshie will start the season on the point of the top PP unit. Last season he scored 12 goals and 34 points through 49 games including nine PP. Expect all of those totals to improve with a full season with Patrik Berglund and Chris Stewart.
Oct. 4, 2011, 9:52 a.m.
Last season was interrupted by a serious injury that limited Oshie to 49 games, and he is still looking to get as many as 20 goals or 50 points in a season. So there is still room for him to “break out” in that manner.
The former 24th overall pick was on pace for 20 goals and 57 points last season. If he and his supporting cast can remain healthy, we could be looking at a 25 goal, 60 point season for the forward.
