St. Louis Blues forward Radek Faksa will miss tonight's game against the San Jose Sharks due to a skate cut in a very sensitive area.

The St. Louis Blues will not have Radek Faksa in the lineup against the San Jose Sharks due to a skate cut in the groin region.

The forward was injured in the Blues' last game against the Vancouver Canucks. Faksa took a skate from a falling player and immediately went off the ice in pain.

Although Faksa is not known for his offensive ability, he is a key penalty-killer and defensive forward for St. Louis. In 29 games this season, he has two goals and five assists.

New Blues head coach Jim Montgomery had to be careful with how he described his injury to the media today.

Mathieu Joseph will enter the lineup in place of Faksa.
