The 36-year-old player collapsed on the bench with 7:50 left in the first period but was 'alert and conscious' by the time he was taken to the hospital.
The game was tied at 1-1 when it was called off and will be rescheduled for a yet-to-be-confirmed date.
The Blues were scheduled to play the Vegas Golden Knights on the road on Thursday but opted to remain in California following the incident instead. Tuesday was the Canadian's 57th game of the season and the 1,241st of his career—the fourth-most among active players, behind only Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton and Zdeno Chara.
Tuesday marked the first time the NHL has been forced to suspend and postpone a game for a medical emergency since Rich Peverley of the Dallas Stars collapsed on the bench during a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets in March 2014.
