ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced Sunday the club has activated defenseman Roman Polak from injured reserve.

In addition, the Blues have assigned defenseman Ian Cole to the Blues’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Peoria Rivermen.

Polak, 24, missed the last 24 games after being injured on Oct. 23 vs. Pittsburgh. This season, he has played in seven games, recording one goal, six penalty minutes and a plus-two rating.

The 6-1, 227-pound defenseman is currently in his fifth NHL season, notching 38 points (six goals, 32 points) and 116 penalty minutes in 179 games played.

The Ostrava, Czech Republic native was originally drafted by the Blues in the sixth round, 180th overall in the 2004 Entry Draft.

Cole, 21, made his NHL debut this season on Nov. 6 at Boston. The 6-1, 221-pound defenseman skated in 10 games with the Blues, registering 12 penalty minutes and has made 20 appearances with the Rivermen this season notching three points including a goal and two assists.

The Ann Arbor, Michigan native was originally drafted by the Blues in the first round, 18th overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

Basically Polak will be back to play on Monday against the Nucks and Cole is back in the minors for some reason.

So Nikitin and Strachan over Cole? Meh.

Petro should be back soon anyway I guess.

Great news about Polak.

This tells me Petro will be back too and they would rather have Cole playing in Peoria than sitting in a pressbox here. with Johnson, Petro, Jackman,Brewer, Carlo, and Polack healthy Strachen becomes #7.

So the frank what? He prevents goals, which is their biggest problem right now. Halak is a cement head, and a cement glove to boot, and Polak can clean the garbage up.

I said it was awesome.
but you cant win every game 2-1 or 1-0

Couldn't of said it any better but at least keep Cole up as an offensive player....well maybe AHL would be better than playing an offensive position.

Yeah, Cole is really tearing it up... 0 points in 10 games. How on earth can you send him down?

Wait a minute I thought Cole was a Defenseman....

He is.... one who has not made himself noticeable either defensively nor offensively.

Cole will be back and forth this year as an injury call-up, but he will take Brewer's spot on the roster next year and will be here full time.

Exactly right so far...Cole just got sent down again I guess Cola is good now.

That's too bad. At least Ian played with effort and energy. We seem to need that right now.

He had a monster hit followed by a decent scrap. I'll take it.

glen a richter · Post by **glen a richter** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 3:38 pm

But don't you know, he grew up a Wings fan and went to Notre Dame, so we have to trade him immediately!!!!!!!!!
