ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=stl) placed goalie Curtis Sanford (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=3216) and forwards Dallas Drake (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=534) and Keith Tkachuk (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=558) on injured reserve Saturday.

The team called up goalie Chris Beckford-Tseu from the Alaska Aces of the ECHL, and activated defenseman Eric Brewer (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=1792) from injured reserve.
Tkachuk is out four to six weeks with broken knuckles after getting hit on the right hand by a puck during a 5-1 loss at Chicago on Friday night. Tkachuk missed 15 games earlier in the season with cracked ribs.
Sanford, who became the starting goalie when Patrick Lalime (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=1386) was placed on waivers Monday, pulled a hip flexor in the second period Friday in a collision with Blues defenseman Eric Weinrich (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=495). Lalime now is playing for the Blues' AHL affiliate in Peoria, Ill.
Drake has a sore back and is day to day.
Beckford-Tseu has played 11 games with Alaska and was 9-0-2 with a league-leading 1.96 goals-against average. Brewer missed 10 games with a shoulder injury. In 18 games, he had four goals, two assists and 35 penalty minutes.
