St. Louis Blues left wing Alexandre Texier missed Thursday's clash with the Sharks because of an upper-body injury. Texier logged 13:03 of ice time in St. Louis' season-opening 3-2 win against Seattle on Tuesday, logging an assist on Jordan Kyrou's game-winner, but he also appears to have gotten injured in the contest, as the French forward had a maintenance day on Wednesday. He took part in the warm-ups ahead of Thursday's game before being ruled out. Blues head coach Drew Bannister has labeled Texier as day-to-day. Zack Bolduc replaced him on the second line. The 21-year-old could keep his spot as the Blues return to action on Friday night against Vegas, increasing his fantasy value.
Columbus Blue Jackets winger Alexandre Texier (undisclosed) missed the morning skate and is considered a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against Buffalo. The French forward is in danger of missing his third game of the season. Texier had two assists last time out against Anaheim, but he has posted only 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) in 53 games for the season and isn't a regular offensive threat.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier will miss the whole 2022-23 NHL season because of unspecified personal problems. The Blue Jackets said in its statement that the versatile Frenchman won't be with the team "per the advice and recommendation of the NHL/NHLPA Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program." Texier also missed the end of last season for personal reasons and a fractured finger. The 22-year-old managed to pick up 20 points in 36 games before being forced to end his season early. He's collected 49 points in total in 123 career appearances. Texier will be free to sign a one-year deal with a team in Europe for the upcoming season and his $1,525,000 cap hit will come off the books for Columbus.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier (hand) will miss four weeks after suffering a fractured finger against the Flames on Wednesday night. Texier has scored a career-high 11 goals to go along with nine assists through 36 games, for a total of 20 points in his third NHL season. Texier is not on the radar in standard formats but the 22-year-old forward is worth rostering in dynasty leagues for his goal scoring production and positional eligibility.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Alexandre Texier is showing good chemistry with Eric Robinson and the results are becoming more and more apparent. Texier set up Robinson twice during Tuesday's 4-3 loss in Vancouver. The center is more set up for a defensive role but his two assists give him 16 points in 27 games this season. Though he has no shots on goal in consecutive contests, he has six points in his last five games. Texier even saw a turn with the Columbus power play on Tuesday. It may be a sign of more time to come.
Columbus Blue Jackets Alexandre Texier started the scoring in Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss to Anaheim, lightning the lamp for the ninth time this season with eight minutes played in the first period. The French youngster has now scored three goals in five December appearances, and he's averaging a point per game for the month. It's been a very good campaign for Alexandre Texier, who boasted just 11 career goals in 87 outings before the season started. He's on 14 points in total, and there have been only five outings across the last 16 games in which Texier hasn't added to his tally.
Alexandre Texier Has A Two-Point Night Against Sharks
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier finished Sunday's 6-4 win over the Sharks with two points, registering an assist on a Sean Kuraly goal and capping off the scoring with an empty-netter. The Frenchman is second in goals on the team with eight this season, and he's tallied 12 points in total in 23 games. Texier has notched 10 of his points since the start of last month. He was back on the fourth line again on Sunday, but Blue Jackets head coach Brad Larsen likes to tinker his lines a lot and the young forward shouldn't stay there for long. Especially if he remains in good scoring form.
Alexandre Texier Continues Good Month With An Assist
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier continued his productive November with an assist in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Winnipeg. He helped Andrew Peeke to become the 20th Blue Jackets goal-scorer this season late in the game. The French forward now has four goals and two assists for the month in nine games. Texier is among Columbus' top goal-scorers this season with six markers, and he's tallied eight points in total with 31 shots and a plus-four rating. He's currently on the fourth line, which limits Texier's fantasy value, but the 22-year-old has also seen time in the top six and could get back in there at some point in the season.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Predators. Michael Del Zotto was involved in both of the Jackets' goals as well by dishing out a pair of assists. Nick Foligno opened the scoring for Columbus before Texier notched the team's second. Texier skates on the third line with Foligno and Liam Foudy, but he is also getting time on the team's second power-play unit, so he might interest a few fantasy managers in deeper leagues. The Jackets have a pair of games next against Detroit, which looks like a favorable matchup on paper.
