St. Louis Blues forward Nathan Walker was placed on injured reserve and will miss at least the next eight weeks with an upper-body injury, the team announced Tuesday.

Walker was injured during St. Louis' 4-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Monday.

Walker's injury came hours after the Blues announced forward Jimmy Snuggerud would be sidelined for at least six weeks with a wrist injury.

Walker, 31, has nine points (three goals, six assists) in 25 games this season for the Blues.

A Stanley Cup champion with Washington, Walker has totaled 65 points (31 goals, 34 assists) in 254 career games with the Edmonton Oilers, Capitals and Blues.
