Coach Ken Hitchcock is going to give Arnott some down time over the next few days. The 37-year old Arnott will not play against Carolina or against Tampa on Saturday as he mends from some bumps and bruises.

The Blues are currently carrying two extra forwards which gives Hitchcock the option to rest Arnott. The veteran center scored 16 goals and 32 points through his first 64 games with the team.
