Philip Broberg A Game-Time Call Friday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (illness) is a game-time decision on Friday versus Florida. He missed Thursday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay because of an illness. Tyler Tucker made his season debut on Thursday and will be expected to fill in for Broberg again if he can't play against the Panthers. The Swedish blue-liner has enjoyed a very good maiden campaign as a Blue, posting 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in 21 outings with 23 shots, 27 hits, and 20 blocks. Broberg's return will likely bump Ryan Suter to the third defensive pairing.

Scott Perunovich Back For Blues Sunday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Scott Perunovich will be back in the lineup against the Rangers on Sunday. The 26-year-old has been a healthy scratch for the previous three games. Perunovich has struggled for consistency all season, recording six points (two goals, four assists) in 18 games with seven shots and 18 blocks. Pierre-Olivier Joseph gets the night off on Sunday to accommodate Perunovich, who will work with Ryan Suter on the third defensive pairing. Newly acquired Cam Fowler has replaced Suter in the top four. When he plays, Perunovich typically gets power-play time as well, but he's far from a reliable source for offense in fantasy hockey.

Brandon Saad Re-Enters Blues Lineup Sunday

St. Louis Blues left wing Brandon Saad will rejoin the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Rangers. The veteran forward will be back in action after missing Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to Dallas as a healthy scratch. Saad has not played well for the Blues this season, and according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the team is looking to trade the winger, who has a $4.5 million cap hit on his contract, which expires with the 2025-26 campaign. Through 27 outings, Saad has mustered 10 points (four goals, six assists). Oskar Sundqvist makes way for him in the lineup on Sunday.

Blues Pick Up Cam Fowler In Trade With Ducks

The St. Louis Blues have acquired defenseman Cam Fowler in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks. In the transaction, St. Louis sent a 2027 second-round pick and minor league defenseman Jeremie Biakabutuka to Anaheim for Fowler and a 2027 fourth-round pick. Anaheim retains 38.5 percent of Fowler's $6.5 million cap hit as part of the deal. Fowler has so far spent his entire career with the Ducks, skating in 991 games and recording 457 points (96 goals, 361 assists). However, his play has largely been ineffective this season despite Fowler seeing over 21 minutes of ice time on average. He will likely get less usage in St. Louis but should still have an important role to play, with the Blues defense missing Nick Leddy (lower body).

Robert Thomas Collects Three Points In Tuesday's Win

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas led the way as the team beat Vancouver 4-3 in overtime Tuesday night. He was involved in three of St. Louis' four goals, recording a short-handed tally and dishing out two assists. Thomas' season suffered an early blow when he broke his ankle, but the 25-year-old has been very productive since returning to the lineup. Across his last 10 appearances, Thomas has contributed four goals and nine assists. He's averaging over a point per game for the season, having logged five goals and 14 assists in 17 contests.

Justin Faulk Returns From Two-Game Absence

St. Louis Blues defenseman Justin Faulk (upper body) will return to action on Saturday against Edmonton. He has been sidelined for two games with an upper-body injury. Faulk has generated assists in each of his last two appearances, but his work on the offensive end has been lacking for most of the campaign. In 25 outings, Faulk has contributed one goal and six assists. This matchup has previously suited Faulk, who has bagged at least a point in five of his last seven appearances against the Oilers. Pierre-Olivier Joseph will come out of the lineup to accommodate Faulk's return.

Nick Leddy Joins Blues For Road Trip

St. Louis Blues defenseman Nick Leddy (lower body) will travel with the team for a four-game road trip and is expected to return to action soon. The Blues have their first stop in Winnipeg on Tuesday and won't be back home until Dec. 12. Leddy hasn't played since Oct. 15, making only four appearances this season. He averaged over 22 minutes of ice time early in the campaign. Ryan Suter has been skating on the first defensive pairing during Leddy's absence and may have a lighter workload once he returns to the lineup.

Philip Broberg Returns To Action Versus Flyers

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (knee) is expected to make his return to the lineup on Saturday against Philadelphia. He hasn't played since Nov. 2, sitting out 12 games due to a knee issue. Broberg had a special start to the season with his new club, logging a point in each of his first six appearances. He's on nine points (two goals, seven assists) with 12 games played overall. Broberg is projected to join Justin Faulk on the second defensive pairing and should also work with the second power-play unit in Saturday's contest.

Pavel Buchnevich Out On Saturday

St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich (lower body) will not play in Saturday's contest against Philadelphia. He was injured Wednesday night versus New Jersey. Buchnevich is not expected to miss extended time and will get his first chance to return on Tuesday against Winnipeg. Alexandre Texier will take over Buchnevich's duties on the first line. The French forward is far less skilled and has been limited to three points (one goal, two assists) in 12 outings. Brayden Schenn will replace Buchnevich on the top power-play unit.

Jordan Binnington Celebrates Historic Victory Wednesday

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington was outstanding with a 31-save performance in Wednesday's 3-0 win over New Jersey, becoming the team's all-time leader in wins. Making a 290th start for the Blues, Binnington grabbed his 152th win, surpassing Mike Liut, who currently works as Binnington's agent. The 31-year-old did so with his 16th shutout for the club, his first this season. Binnington has had his fair share of struggles in the Blues crease, but taking over the franchise record for wins is no mean feat. 2024-25 has been another inconsistent campaign for the Blues No. 1, as Binnington has gone 7-9-1 with a 2.86 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage.

Pavel Buchnevich Suffers A Lower-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich exited Wednesday's 3-0 win over New Jersey with a lower-body injury. Buchnevich recorded an assist just nine seconds into the game but was limited to 8:54 of ice time. Blues head coach Jim Montgomery announced after the game that Buchnevich is currently considered day-to-day. The Russian forward has been slumping for most of the campaign but has enjoyed a productive spell recently and is riding a three-game point streak. He has amassed 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 24 games overall. Dylan Holloway replaced Buchnevich on the top line Wednesday and popped up with two goals.

Robert Thomas  • C  •  Blues

Robert Thomas Back For Blues Tuesday

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (ankle) will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against Minnesota. He's back after missing 12 games with a fractured ankle. Thomas picked up six points (one goal, five assists) in seven outings before landing on the shelf. The 25-year-old will resume his duties as the first-line center and will also join the first power-play unit. Thomas was held without a point by the Wild on Oct. 15, but he has amassed 16 points against them throughout his career -- it's his third-highest points tally against any opposition. As a result of Thomas' return, Mathieu Joseph will sit as a healthy scratch on Tuesday.

Dylan Holloway Avoids Serious Injury

St. Louis Blues left wing Dylan Holloway (upper body) has avoided serious injury and could be an option for Thursday's matchup against Utah. Holloway was struck by a puck in the neck area in Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay and was taken to the hospital. He returned to the team's practice facility on Wednesday. Holloway has enjoyed a positive start with his new team. He has recorded six points (four goals, two assists) in 13 games with 22 shots and 29 hits. The 23-year-old was recently promoted to the second line, giving him additional fantasy value.

Dylan Holloway Taken To Hospital After Being Hit By A Puck

St. Louis Blues left wing Dylan Holloway was taken to the hospital after he was hit by a puck in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Tampa Bay. He was hit in the neck area with 2:37 remaining in the first period. Holloway managed to finish his shift but was then stretched away from the bench area. The Blues announced that Holloway was alert and stable. This was a scary incident, but it's great to know that the player appears to be fine. However, the Blues likely have to be without him for a bit. After signing an offer sheet to join St. Louis from Edmonton, Holloway has opened the 2024-25 campaign with six points (four goals, two assists) through 13 games. He's filled a top-six role lately due to Robert Thomas' (ankle) absence.

Philip Broberg Will Miss Several Weeks With Lower-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (lower body) will miss the next four to six weeks due to a leg injury suffered on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Broberg went into the boards funny after getting tangled up with Mitch Marner and had to leave the game early, and will now miss significant time. Broberg was getting a good amount of ice time, including some time on the powerplay, and succeeding in that role. Colton Parayko will likely take some of that powerplay time, but Justin Faulk will continue to see most of the work on the man advantage.

Philip Broberg Leaves Saturday Early With Lower-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (lower body) left Saturday's game early. Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that head coach Drew Bannister did not have an update regarding the 23-year-old defenseman during the postgame interview. Broberg has enjoyed a fantastic start to his time in St. Louis, scoring nine points through his first 12 games. In addition, he holds a +6 rating with 11 shots on goal, 10 hits, and 12 blocks. For now, fantasy managers should expect Pierre-Oliver Joseph or Matt Kessel to move up to the second pairing to cover from Broberg and for Scott Perunovich to re-enter the starting lineup.

Kasperi Kapanen Exits With An Upper-Body Injury Tuesday

St. Louis Blues right wing Kasperi Kapanen sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to Ottawa. He recorded one shot and two hits across 6:37 of action in the contest. Kapanen was drafted into the lineup due to Mathieu Joseph's (lower body) absence. Nathan Walker could now be the next man up. Walker has managed one assist with five shots in five games this season. Fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire.

Mathieu Joseph  • RW  •  Blues

Mathieu Joseph Out On Tuesday

St. Louis Blues right wing Mathieu Joseph (lower body) will not play on Tuesday versus Ottawa. He's returning to St. Louis to get evaluated for a lower-body injury. Joseph has done a decent job in a bottom-six role for the Blues, amassing two goals and two assists in nine appearances. Kasperi Kapanen will be filling in for Joseph on the third line Tuesday. The Finnish winger has been limited to one goal with nine shots in seven outings this season.

Robert Thomas To Miss At Least Six Weeks With Fractured Ankle

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas has been ruled out for at least six weeks with a fractured ankle. The team plans to re-evaluate him in six weeks after Thomas was injured while blocking a shot in Tuesday's matchup against Winnipeg. St. Louis also announced that Thomas has been placed on Injured Reserve. Thomas skates as the first-line center and will be a massive miss for the Blues, who are off to a good 4-3-0 start to the year. Brayden Schenn was moved to the first line in Wednesday's practice and should now play a more prominent role for the team until at least early December.

Robert Thomas Sustains A Lower-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Winnipeg. Thomas had his second multi-point night of the campaign with a pair of assists but was hurt when he blocked a shot. The severity of the injury is currently unclear. The Blues will start a four-game road trip on Thursday in Toronto and will be desperate to have Thomas available. The 25-year-old went scoreless in three games prior to Tuesday's outing, but he still sits among St. Louis' top scorers with six points (one goal, five assists) in seven games. Brayden Schenn will likely move into the top six if Thomas needs time off to heal. This would significantly increase his fantasy value.
