Nathan Walker Ready to End 16-Game Absence

St. Louis Blues left wing Nathan Walker (upper body) will return from a 16-game absence on Wednesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. He will team up with Alexey Toropchenko and Oskar Sundqvist on the fourth line. Walker was in the midst of a solid offensive stretch when he got hurt at the start of December. The 31-year-old has notched nine points (three goals, six assists) in 25 appearances this season, while averaging 3.8 hits per game. Mathieu Joseph will be in the press box on Wednesday to accommodate Walker's return.

Jordan Binnington Logs First Shutout of Season

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington pushed aside 25 pucks for his first shutout of the season in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens. After Joel Hofer beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 on Friday, Binnington got the nod for the second leg of a back-to-back and registered a much-needed shutout victory. In December, Binnington lost all but one start, producing a horrible .835 save percentage. The 32-year-old has been off form all season, allowing 3.40 goals with a .874 save percentage, while going 8-10-6 with 23 starts. Binnington has yet to win consecutive starts this season, a goal he will look to achieve in his next appearance.

Pius Suter to Miss at Least Four Weeks

St. Louis Blues forward Pius Suter (ankle) will sit out at least four weeks of action. He injured his right ankle during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators. Suter has gone 10 consecutive games without registering a point. However, he was sharp early in the campaign and has managed 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 37 games for the season. Robby Fabbri is slated to replace Suter in the lineup on Monday against the Buffalo Sabres. Since joining the team on Dec. 10, Fabbri has recorded two assists in six appearances.

Jordan Kyrou, Jimmy Snuggerud Back for Blues Saturday

St. Louis Blues forwards Jordan Kyrou (lower body) and Jimmy Snuggerud (wrist) will return to action Saturday night against the Nashville Predators. Kyrou has missed nine games due to a lower-body injury, while Snuggerud is returning from a wrist injury that cost him 12 games. Both players will have middle-six roles and operate on St. Louis' first power-play unit. Nashville has the eighth-best penalty kill in the league this season (82.6 percent), but this is still a favorable matchup for the Blues, as they face the NHL's sixth-worst defense.

Jonatan Berggren Totals Three Points Saturday

St. Louis Blues right wing Jonatan Berggren tallied three points in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Florida Panthers, scoring a power-play goal and adding two assists. This was Berggren's third appearance for the Blues after he was claimed off waivers last week. Berggren struggled to get playing time in Detroit this season but has been a good fit in St. Louis. He saw first-line usage on Saturday and has scored in back-to-back games, boasting four points (two goals, two assists) through his first three outings with his new team. Overall, Berggren has registered 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 18 appearances this season.

Joel Hofer Notches Third Shutout of the Season

St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer recorded his third shutout of the season on Wednesday night, stopping the Winnipeg Jets from scoring with 24 saves in a 1-0 win. Hofer became the fifth goalie this season with as many as three shutouts. Minnesota's Jesper Wallstedt is the only one with four. While Hofer has impressed at times, he still holds a disappointing 6-7-2 record. The 25-year-old has allowed 2.97 goals with a .896 save percentage. St. Louis averages the second-fewest goals in the league, making it tough for the team's goalies to please fantasy managers. Jordan Binnington, who is 7-8-5 for the year, will take over the crease for Thursday's matchup against the New York Rangers.

Dylan Holloway to Miss Six Weeks

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (ankle) has been ruled out for six weeks. He injured his right ankle at Sunday's practice. The injury is set to keep Holloway sidelined until at least late January. Very few things have gone right for Holloway in 2025-26, as he has totaled only 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 33 games. Alexey Toropchenko (leg) will replace Holloway in the lineup on Monday against the Nashville Predators, returning to action after a seven-game absence. Robby Fabbri will move into the top six. Since signing with the Blues earlier this month, Fabbri has posted assists in back-to-back games, and a spot on a scoring line elevates his fantasy value.

Dylan Holloway Injured at Sunday's Practice

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (lower body) could be forced to miss time after getting hurt at Sunday's practice. He suffered a lower-body injury and needed to be helped off the ice. The Blues will continue their season on Monday against the Nashville Predators. Holloway has so far featured in all 33 games this season, posting 17 points (eight goals, nine assists). He has been a disappointment in fantasy hockey for most of the campaign, finishing five of his last seven appearances pointless. Alexei Toropchenko (leg) is expected to return to the lineup on Monday and might replace Holloway against Nashville.

Nick Bjugstad to Miss at Least Three Games

St. Louis Blues center Nick Bjugstad (upper body) will be out "at least five days," head coach Jim Montgomery announced on Wednesday. The veteran forward suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Bruins. St. Louis will play three games over the next five days. Jordan Kyrou (lower body), Jimmy Snuggerud (wrist), Alexei Toropchenko (leg), and Nathan Walker (upper body) are also out, leaving the Blues shorthanded up front. To address the situation, the team signed Robby Fabbri to a one-year, two-way contract on Wednesday. Fabbri, who previously played for the Blues from 2015 to 2019, could make his first appearance of the season on Thursday night against the Nashville Predators.

Nick Bjugstad Injured Tuesday

St. Louis Blues forward Nick Bjugstad (upper body) was unable to finish Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Boston Bruins. He sustained an upper-body injury in the second period. Bjugstad has been a non-factor for most of the season, amassing five points (four goals, one assist) in 25 outings, but his experience and availability are assets for the team. The Blues are struggling badly with injuries and were already without four forwards for Tuesday's game. Hugh McGing looks set to be the next man up to enter the lineup if Bjugstad lands on the shelf for Thursday's clash against the Nashville Predators. The 27-year-old has gone scoreless in his previous six NHL appearances and should not be seen as a fantasy target.

Jordan Kyrou  • C  •  Blues

Jordan Kyrou Out Week-to-Week

St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins and is considered week-to-week. Blues head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters that Kyrou is anticipated to miss at least one week of action, meaning he will probably sit out three more games after Tuesday night. Mathieu Joseph will get a look on the second against Boston after he recorded one assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens. Joseph hasn't managed points in back-to-back games since February, recording eight points (two goals, six assists) in 24 outings this season.

Brayden Schenn  • C  •  Blues

Brayden Schenn Leads Blues to Victory Sunday

St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn notched three points in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens. He opened the scoring with a power-play goal and recorded two assists. Dylan Holloway also tallied three points (one goal, two assists) as the Blues managed to win a second consecutive game for only the third time this season. It has been a tough campaign for everybody involved, and Schenn is no exception. He is currently on pace to finish the season with only 36 points. The veteran forward has scored six goals and 13 points in 30 appearances. Four of his points have come in Schenn's last two outings, giving him a chance to record his first three-game scoring streak of the season when the Blues host the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.

Jordan Kyrou Unavailable Against Canadiens

St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou (lower body) will miss Sunday's contest against the Montreal Canadiens and is considered day-to-day. He sustained a lower-body injury early in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators, logging just 53 seconds of ice time. Kyrou has notched 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 28 games during a disappointing campaign. The former All-Star will join fellow forwards Jimmy Snuggerud (wrist), Alexey Toropchenko (leg burns), and Nathan Walker (upper body) on the shelf. Matt Luff is expected to replace Kyrou in the lineup, while Brayden Schenn could move up into the top six. Without Kyrou, St. Louis' first power-play unit will also have a new look.

Jordan Kyrou Sustains Lower-Body Injury Saturday

St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou (lower body) was forced to leave Saturday's matchup against the Ottawa Senators after logging just 53 seconds of ice time. He was hurt only a couple of minutes into the game on a hit from Senators forward Stephen Halliday. Kyrou's early exit from Saturday's contest leaves him questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Montreal Canadiens. The 27-year-old is having a bad year with the Blues, sitting on only 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) through 28 games. Half of his points came during an eight-game point streak in October. Matt Luff, who is averaging nearly a point per game in the AHL this season, will likely take Kyrou's place in the lineup if he can't play against Montreal.

Nathan Walker  • LW  •  Blues

Nathan Walker Out for Eight Weeks

St. Louis Blues left wing Nathan Walker (upper body) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and is projected to miss eight weeks. The veteran forward has picked up nine points (three goals, six assists) in 25 contests this season while averaging 3.8 hits per game. Injuries continue to pile up for the Blues, who have been without Pius Suter (lower body) recently and just lost Jimmy Snuggerud (wrist) and Alexey Toropchenko (leg). At least Suter is expected to make his return on Thursday night against the Boston Bruins. Due to the injury situation in the attacking department, Suter may see more ice time than usual upon his return.

Jimmy Snuggerud  • RW  •  Blues

Jimmy Snuggerud to Miss Six Weeks After Wrist Surgery

St. Louis Blues right wing Jimmy Snuggerud is set to have left wrist surgery, which will keep him out of action for six weeks. The 21-year-old rookie has struggled recently and now won't get an opportunity to start turning his season around until at least mid-January. Snuggerud has tallied five goals and 11 points in 26 games with the struggling Blues this season. On Monday, St. Louis also ruled out Alexey Toropchenko after he had suffered scalding burns to his legs in a home accident. With Pius Suter (lower body) already on the shelf, the Blues' top six and first power-play unit will feature Dalibor Dvorsky in Monday's game against the Anaheim Ducks. Oskar Sundqvist will also have additional fantasy value as a member of the top power-play unit.

Joel Hofer Shuts Out Mammoth

St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer backstopped his team to a 1-0 victory over the Utah Mammoth on Saturday, saving 18 shots for his second shutout of the season. Hofer ended a four-game losing streak with Saturday's flawless performance. The 25-year-old has recorded each of his two shutouts this month, but he is having trouble landing in the winning column. Following 11 starts, Hofer holds a 3-5-2 record. He has allowed 3.45 goals with a .877 save percentage. Despite some recent outstanding performances, Hofer has been mostly unreliable for fantasy teams.

Jake Neighbours  • LW  •  Blues

Jake Neighbours Back for Blues Thursday

St. Louis Blues winger Jake Neighbours (leg) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will rejoin the lineup on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. Neighbours was initially expected to miss five weeks after he injured his right leg on Oct. 25. Instead, he ended up missing less than four weeks of action. Before the leg injury, Neighbours was scoring goals for fun, lighting the lamp six times in eight games. He also has one assist this season. The 23-year-old will land on the first line, next to Robert Thomas and Jimmy Snuggerud. To make room for Neighbours on the roster, the Blues waived Alexandre Texier on Thursday.

Jordan Kyrou Rejoins Blues Lineup Saturday

St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou will re-enter the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Seattle Kraken. Kyrou was scratched for Thursday's meeting with the Buffalo Sabres after he struggled in a heavy 6-1 loss to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night. The 27-year-old went minus-two against Washington and finished without a point for a fourth consecutive game. Overall, Kyrou has amassed eight points (four goals, four assists) in 14 games during a disappointing campaign. He's struggled to make a mark after three consecutive seasons with at least 30 goals and 30 assists. On Saturday, Kyrou will attempt to regain his form in a first-line role, playing alongside Brayden Schenn and Robert Thomas.

Robert Thomas  • C  •  Blues

Robert Thomas Set to Return Monday

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (upper body) is ready to return from a four-game absence on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The Blues lost Thomas to an upper-body injury just as he had started to heat up after a quiet beginning to the season. Thomas has collected at least one point in each of his past three outings, scoring six points (one goal, five assists) overall in eight games this season. On Monday, he'll be on the first line with Pavel Buchnevich and Jimmy Snuggerud, while also logging time on the first power-play unit. Thomas has gone scoreless just once in his past seven appearances against Edmonton.
