Schwartz was already ruled out for the rest of the week, so moving him to IR simply opens up a roster spot to activate Patrick Maroon from IR for Friday’s game.
Maroon has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, but is expected to play tonight vs. the Predators. Maroon is skating with Tyler Bozak and David Perron this morning and is still searching for his first goal with the Blues.

Rieder has been out since November 13th with an upper-body injury but he was moved to IR to create a roster spot for Chris Wideman, who was acquired from Ottawa on Thursday. Rieder is expected to miss at least two more weeks.
The Maple Leafs don’t want to rush their star centre back, so they will wait for him to get through a full-contact practice before he returns to the lineup. Matthews will miss at least three games, so his next opportunity to return to practice is next Tuesday.
