Yan Stastny Clears Re-Entry Waivers

Stastny Clears Waivers

Word this morning is that Yan Stastny has cleared re-entry waivers as he is on the ice practicing with the team.  Stastny will join the Blues for their game tomorrow night against the Carolina Hurricanes. 

Yan is currently the team leader in points for the Peoria Rivermen and was recently named team captain.  This will be a big loss for the Rivermen but Stastny deserves this promotion to the Blues. 

He won’t be able to fully replace T.J. Oshie, who will miss the next two weeks following an appendectomy, or Alex Steen, who will be out another 5-7 weeks with a broken wrist, but Yan is a solid checker, always gives 100%, is a good penalty killer and is a good character guy.
