Breaking News: Nick Leddy is back!

As the last stretch of the season is about to begin, St. Louis Blues a hard road in front of him. With an almost month -long home in front of those who start tonight against Edmonton Oilers, they return to one of their best defenders.

Nick Leddy is back (from being on injured reserve since October 22. He last played for blues 49 games ago when he was injured while playing Minnesota Wild.

The 33-year-old defender will be created next to Ryan Suter on the third defensive line. This is a great help, but not to say that Tyler Tucker has not been big in his own right this season. Once Tucker is healthy and depending on where Leddy does it in his return tonight, it will leave the blues in a tough place.

Even still it is a good thing to have him back in the lineup. We will see how game-ready he is, tonight against a Great Oilers team.
