Schwartz, Brodziak to play against Oilers

Jaden Schwartz is back -- and right on time.

The Blues' talented 24-year-old forward, who injured his left elbow during practice in September, will be back on the ice when the Blues take on the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night, the team revealed.

It's the date Schwartz and the Blues had been targeting all along, though the original prognosis -- out at least four weeks -- turned out to be a bit pessimistic. After getting hurt Sept. 29, Schwartz is back in three weeks.
