Kapanen (upper body) is not expected to play in Thursday's matchup with Utah, per Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic. Since Dylan Holloway (neck) has been cleared to return, the Blues can likely afford to give Kapanen some more time to recover from his upper-body issue. Even prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old winger was far from a lock for the lineup, having been scratched twice, and he was struggling to produce with just one point in eight games.

Kapanen skated alongside Jake Neighbours and Pavel Buchnevich during Wednesday's practice, so those will likely be his linemates if he returns Thursday.
