Blues put Colaiacovo on IR
ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues on Tuesday placed defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo on injured reserve, retroactive to Nov. 18.

Colaiacovo has a left hamstring strain that he initially injured in the first period of Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers.

Colaiacovo, who has a goal and six points in 13 games this season, is eligible to come off injured reserve on Friday. Earlier in the day, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said Colaiacovo, who missed five games earlier this season with a concussion, is feeling better and the team is hopeful he can get back on the ice by the end of the week.

The Blues recalled defenseman Cade Fairchild from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Peoria Rivermen. The 22-year-old Fairchild is the team's fourth-round pick (No. 96) in the 2007 NHL Draft. He will be available for Tuesday night's home game against the Los Angeles Kings.
