Texier (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Sharks, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Texier took a maintenance day Wednesday, but he was in attendance for Thursday's morning skate. The 25-year-old produced an assist and blocked three shots in his Blues debut Tuesday versus the Kraken. In Texier's absence, Zachary Bolduc will draw into the lineup and could also absorb Texier's power-play time. The Blues' opening road trip concludes with a game Friday in Vegas.
