Pavel Buchnevich Unlikely To Play On Tuesday

St. Louis Blues left wing Pavel Buchnevich (illness) was not at Tuesday's morning skate and is unlikely to play this evening against the Montreal Canadiens. Buchnevich was unable to play in the previous two contests and is expected to miss his third-straight game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Thursday evening when the Blues travel to Nashville to face the Predators. Through 10 games this month, Buchnevich has found the back of the net twice and added four helpers. Over his previous 14 contests, Buchnevich has tallied 13 points (three goals) with four of his coming on the power play. While Buchnevich remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Zachary Bolduc to continue to have a role in the St. Louis top-six.

Jordan Binnington Leads The Way On Sunday

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington stopped 31 of the 32 shots he saw en route to defeating the Nashville Predators on Sunday evening. The Predators dominated the shot total, but Binnington was able to stand tall. His lone blemish came in the second frame when Nashville left-wing Filip Forsberg found the back of the net on the power play for his 28th goal of the campaign. This outing also extended Binnington's winning streak to three games. During this stretch, the 31-year-old has posted a solid .920 save percentage with a strong 1.20 GAA. Over his previous 10 games, Binnington has held an 8-2 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.32 GAA. He has allowed two or fewer goals six times in this stretch. He remains a solid option in all standard leagues as he looks to stay hot on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens.

Pavel Buchnevich Out On Saturday

St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich (illness) will miss Saturday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks. Lou Korac of NHL.com reports that Buchnevich is battling an illness. Alexandre Texier will take his spot in the lineup, while Zack Bolduc gets a chance to ride on the first line. Bolduc has been hot lately, and the move to the top line will give him even more fantasy value. Since the start of March, Bolduc has registered five goals and seven points in nine games, firing 20 shots on goal. The 22-year-old boasts 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 60 games for his rookie season.

Joel Hofer In Blues Net Saturday

St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer has been named the starter for Saturday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Hofer will make his 25th start of the season, looking to register a third consecutive win. Throughout the season, Hofer has put in strong performances as Jordan Binnington's backup, posting a 13-7-3 record. He holds a 2.71 goals-against average and has recorded a .903 save percentage with one shutout. On Saturday, Hofer is an outstanding fantasy option, as the Blues face one of the weakest teams in the league and have been on a roll lately with four consecutive wins.

Jordan Kyrou Strikes Twice On Tuesday

St. Louis Blues right wing Jordan Kyrou scored two goals during their 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday evening. Kyrou scored his first goal in the second frame with a wrist shot. Later in the third, Kyrou would strike a second time with another wrist shot. This was the 26-year-old's third-straight contest tallying at least two points. Over his last 12 games, Kyrou has found the back of the net six times and added eight helpers. During this span, he tallied three of his assists on the power play and logged 32 total shots on goal. Through 69 games this season, Kyrou has scored 29 goals and added 29 helpers. Fantasy managers should continue to view Kyrou as a reliable forward in standard leagues and a solid play in DFS in favorable matchups.

Jordan Kyrou Tallies Three Points On Sunday

St. Louis Blues right wing Jordan Kyrou tallied three points during their victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday evening. In the opening frame, Kyrou would add the secondary assist on Brayden Schenn's opening goal. In the second period, Kyrou would tally another secondary assist, this time on Dylan Holloway's power-play goal. In the third period, Kyrou would tally his second power-play point with the primary assist on Jake Neighbours' 18th goal of the season. This was Kyrou's second straight three-point outing. Over his last 11 contests, the 26-year-old has found the back of the net four times and added eight helpers. Through 68 games this season, Kyrou has tallied 56 points (27 goals), with 15 of his points coming on the power play. He remains a solid play in all standard leagues while playing in the top six of the St. Louis offense.

Cam Fowler  • D  •  Blues

Cam Fowler Returns To Practice On Tuesday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Cam Fowler (personal) returned to practice on Tuesday. Fowler was unable to play in their previous contest on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings due to the birth of his child. However, it appears Fowler is in line to return to the starting lineup on Thursday evening to face the Pittsburgh Penguins. Over his previous six contests, Fowler has found the back of the net once and added five helpers. During this span he has held a +4 rating while tallying nine shots on goal with six blocked shots. Since being traded to the Blues from the Anaheim Ducks in December, Fowler has enjoyed an offensive surge as he has tallied 21 points (seven goals) across 32 games. Over his first 19 games with the Ducks, Fowler tallied just four points (all helpers). He should return to his role on the top pairing alongside Nick Leddy.

Colton Parayko  • D  •  Blues

Colton Parayko To Miss Rest Of Regular Season

St. Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko (knee) will miss the rest of the regular season. Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said the 31-year-old will undergo a scope on his left knee and will be re-evaluated in six weeks. Parayko has had a big year with the Blues in 2024-25, scoring a career-high 15 goals and matching his career best with 35 points in 62 games. He leads all skaters on the team in average ice time with 23:51 and has registered a plus-eight rating. Nick Leddy will likely be used in a larger role for the rest of the way, while Tyler Tucker is set to break back into the lineup after spending six games as a healthy scratch.

Philip Broberg  • D  •  Blues

Philip Broberg Strikes Twice On Thursday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg found the back of the net twice during their victory over the Washington Capitals on Thursday evening. Broberg found the back of the net twice in the opening, during even strength play. He also held a +2 rating in this contest but did not tally a hit or a block. This performance also extended his point streak to two games. Over his last five contests, Broberg has tallied five points (three goals) with four hits, seven blocked shots, 11 shots on goal, and a +4 rating. Before this recent offensive surge, the 23-year-old only tallied one point (a helper) over his last eight contests and held a -3 rating. Across 47 games, Broberg has tallied 20 points. He will look to extend this scoring streak on Saturday against the Kings and remains a solid option in deeper formats.

Jordan Binnington Earns Another Start For Team Canada

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington will remain Team Canada's starter in Saturday's 4 Nations Face-Off matchup against the U.S. The 31-year-old allowed three goals on 26 shots in the tournament opener against Sweden but came up big in overtime with multiple saves, earning himself another chance to start ahead of Adin Hill of the Vegas Golden Knights and Montreal Canadiens netminder Samuel Montembeault. Binnington now holds a 7-2-0 record with Canada since last year's World Championships, allowing an average of 2.88 goals per game.

Jordan Binnington Earns Victory Over Team Sweden

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington stopped 23 of the 26 shots he faced en route to defeating Team Sweden in overtime on Wednesday evening. Binnington's first blemish came in the second frame when Minnesota's Jonas Brodin beat him on a snapshot. Then, in the third, Sweden was able to score twice, which forced overtime. Los Angeles's Adrian Kempe and Minnesota's Joel Eriksson Ek were able to find the back of the net in that frame. However, Binnington was able to stop all four shots he saw in overtime, which set up Mitch Marner to score the game-winner. Fantasy managers should monitor Binnington's status leading up to their next game on Saturday evening, as he will likely get the starting nod once again. He will have a tougher matchup facing Team USA, who is led by three-time Rocket Richard winner Auston Matthews.

Jordan Binnington To Start For Canada In 4 Nations Face-Off Opener

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington will be in the net as Team Canada kicks off the 4 Nations Face-Off against Team Sweden on Wednesday night. Binnington has earned the nod ahead of Adin Hill of the Vegas Golden Knights and Sam Montembeault on the Montreal Canadiens. The 31-year-old also represented Canada at last year's World Championships, posting a 6-2-0 record as Canada finished fourth. Binnington has become the winningest goalie in Blues history this season, but he has had a bumpy road overall. In 38 starts, Binnington has posted a 15-19-4 record with a 2.89 goals-against average. He has tallied three shutouts while registering a .896 save percentage.

Tyler Tucker  • D  •  Blues

Tyler Tucker Misses Third Straight Game Saturday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Tyler Tucker (upper body) will not play on Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks. He has been sidelined by an upper-body injury, sitting out a third consecutive game. Tucker is considered day-to-day, so he should be ready to return to the lineup following the conclusion of the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 24-year-old had a hot spell last month with four points (two goals, two assists) over a five-game span, but these remain his only points for the season through 19 outings. Nick Leddy has taken Tucker's spot in the lineup, returning to action after missing 16 weeks with a lower-body injury.

Alexandre Texier  • C  •  Blues

Alexandre Texier Out On Thursday

St. Louis Blues center Alexandre Texier (illness) will not play on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old Frenchman will be replaced in the lineup by Mathieu Joseph (illness), who is ready to return from a one-game absence. After two solid seasons with the Ottawa Senators, Joseph has struggled to find his footing in St. Louis. He has only contributed two goals and three assists over 35 games. The Blues utilize Joseph in a third-line role, which limits his fantasy value.

Nick Leddy  • D  •  Blues

Nick Leddy Back For Blues Tuesday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Nick Leddy (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the Edmonton Oilers. Leddy hasn't played since Oct. 15, missing 49 games. He began the campaign on St. Louis' first defensive pairing, although Leddy went scoreless in four appearances. On Tuesday, Leddy will skate alongside Ryan Suter on the third defensive pairing. Tyler Tucker (upper body) will come out of the lineup. Leddy has produced several 40-point seasons during his 15-year NHL career, but he doesn't have any fantasy value as a third-pairing defenseman.

Jordan Binnington Stops 24 Shots In Victory

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington stopped 24 of the 25 shots he faced en route to defeating the Utah Hockey Club on Sunday evening. Binnington's lone blemish came in the third period when Michael Kesselring beat him on a slap shot. The Blues held the advantage in the shot total, but Binnington performed well when called on. This performance snapped a two-game losing streak for the 31-year-old. In addition, this was the first time in four starts that Binnington allowed one goal or less. Across 37 total games, Binnington holds a 14-19-3 with a 2.83 GAA and a .898% SV. He has posted three shutouts. Binnington will look to stay hot when he faces the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday evening.

Robert Thomas  • C  •  Blues

Robert Thomas Questionable Sunday

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (illness) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Utah Hockey Club. He left Saturday's practice early because he wasn't feeling well and may not be in game shape against Utah. Despite missing 12 games with a broken ankle, Thomas is ranked third on the team with 36 points. He has amassed 12 goals and 24 assists in 40 appearances. Defenseman Colton Parayko (illness) is also questionable for Sunday and might miss a second consecutive game. Jake Neighbours could reclaim a top-six spot if Thomas is unable to play on Sunday, while Philip Broberg should stay on the first defensive pairing as Parayko's replacement.

Philip Broberg  • D  •  Blues

Philip Broberg Hurt In Practice

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (lower body) was injured in Wednesday's practice, leaving his status up in the air for Thursday's game against Vegas. Broberg has been a welcome addition to the Blues' backline this season, recording 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) and 43 blocks in 35 games. Scott Perunovich, who has notched six points (two goals, four assists) in 24 appearances, will likely replace Broberg in the lineup if he misses time. Justin Faulk is expected to take Broberg's position on the second defensive pairing. A move up in the lineup would boost Faulk's fantasy value, but he has not been a consistent source of production this season for fantasy managers. The 32-year-old has been limited to 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) in 44 games.

Jake Neighbours  • LW  •  Blues

Jake Neighbours Iffy For Thursday

St. Louis Blues winger Jake Neighbours (upper body) is questionable for Thursday's game against Calgary. He suffered an upper-body injury in Wednesday's practice. Neighbours was back on the ice for Thursday's optional morning skate, but Blues head coach Jim Montgomery didn't fully commit to his availability. Brandon Saad is set to drop out of the lineup if Neighbours is good to go for the contest, with Zack Bolduc coming in for Alexandre Texier. Saad has had a difficult campaign, notching only 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 39 appearances, and is not a strong option for fantasy managers.

Robert Thomas Nets Two Goals On Thursday

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas found the back of the net twice on Thursday evening during their victory over the Anaheim Ducks. Thomas opened the scoring on an unassisted snap shot goal in the first period. Later in the second, Thomas would strike again, this time with Pavel Buchnevich tallying the primary assist. Thomas would tally six shots on goal in this game with two penalty minutes and a +1 rating. This game extended Thomas' goal streak to two games, and he has tallied nine points over his previous eight contests. Overall, the 25-year-old has tallied 33 points (11 goals, 22 helpers) across 31 games this season. Thomas should continue to produce point-per-game production playing on the top unit alongside Pavel Buchnevich and Brandon Saad.
