Jakub Vrana - Headed back to minorsVrana was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Friday.
ImpactVrana's demotion comes as Justin Faulk (lower body) was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. In four games since being brought back up from the minors, the 27-year-old winger has served as a healthy scratch twice, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him dropped from the 23-man roster.

Justin Faulk - Taken off IRFaulk (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Friday.
ImpactFaulk is set to rejoin the team against Boston on Saturday following his five-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. Even with Faulk coming back, the Blues opted to send down a forward, Jakub Vrana, in a corresponding move, which means the club will be carrying eight blueliners for the time being. With Faulk back, Scott Perunovich is a strong candidate to be relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch.
