Krug is week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
Krug was hurt in the second period of Tuesday's game and is going to miss at least a couple of weeks with an upper-body injury. Luckily the Blues just acquired Nick Leddy from Detroit before the trade deadline, so he will help replace Krug.
Line Change
Sundqvist will make his Red Wings debut on Tuesday.
Sundqvist was acquired as a part of the Nick Leddy trade on Monday and will immediately draw into the Red Wings lineup vs. the Flyers. Sundqvist had four goals with 11 assists (15 points) in 41 games this season.
The Blues have recalled Nathan Walker from Springfield (AHL).
With Vladimir Tarasenko and Robert Thomas out and Oskar Sundqvist traded to the Red Wings on Monday, the Blues were down to 10 healthy forwards. Walker, who has 44 points (19G / 25A) in 47 AHL games this season, is expected to suit up as the 11th forward.
Thomas (upper-body) suffered a setback and did not travel to Washington for Tuesday's game.
Thomas will not play for the third time in four games after suffering a setback with his upper-body injury. The Blues will also be without Vladimir Tarasenko, who is out with an illness.

The Senators have acquired Mathieu Joseph and a 2024 fourth-round pick from the Lightning for Nick Paul.
Joseph was a fourth-round pick in 2015 and has not produced a lot offensively, playing largely in a depth role with the Lightning. In Ottawa, Joseph should play higher up the lineup and could find a little more offence. The 25-year-old has scored eight goals with 10 assists (18 points) in 58 games this season.
Thomas (illness) is expected to be back in the Blues lineup on Saturday.
Thomas missed the last two games with an illness but is expected to replace Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) in the lineup on Saturday. Thomas comes in with four goals and two assists in his last two games.
Leddy is expected to be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Buchnevich (concussion) will return to the Blues lineup on Thursday.
Buchnevich missed the last three games with a concussion but will play Thursday vs. the Penguins. Buchnevich is expected to return on the Blues' third line and comes in with 19 goals and 27 assists (46 points) in 50 games this season.
