[November 24, 2014]  Nov 23 (The Sports Xchange) - The "Ironman" streak is over for St. Louis Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester.

The 31-year-old was scratched from Sunday's game in Winnipeg after suffering a lower-body injury Saturday in Ottawa, ending the longest active consecutive games-played streak in pro sports at 737.

Bouwmeester last missed a game during the 2003-04 season when he skated with the Florida Panthers.
