Pavel Buchnevich Scores Goal, Adds Two Helpers

St. Louis Blues left wing Pavel Buchnevich tallied three points during their 6-1 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday evening. Buchnevich did all of his damage in the opening frame. He first tallied the secondary assist on Brayden Schenn's goal. Later, he would find the back of the net on a snapshot, which would eventually serve as the game-winner. He would then add his second helper, this time a secondary assist on Jimmy Snuggerud's power-play goal. This was Buchnevich's second three-point outing over his last three contests. Over his last eight contests, Buchnevich has found the back of the net six times and added four helpers. He will look to carry this momentum into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Philip Broberg Misses Saturday's Contest

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (personal) will not play on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. He has left the team and returned to St. Louis for personal reasons. The Blues have received good value for money after signing Broberg to a two-year, $9.16 million offer sheet last summer, as the 23-year-old has recorded 29 points (eight goals, 21 assists) and 98 blocks in 67 games with a plus-21 rating, which ties him for the team-high. Matt Kessel will play instead of Broberg in Saturday's game. Kessel's work on the offensive end has been limited to three assists in 29 appearances, and he is unlikely to make an impact in fantasy hockey.

Robert Thomas Totals Four Points As Blues Keep Winning

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas amassed four points as the team set a new franchise record with a 12th consecutive win on Saturday night, beating the Colorado Avalanche on home ice 5-4. Thomas tallied three assists as the Blues rushed to a 4-0 lead and ended up with the game-winning marker after netting an empty-net goal with 31 seconds left in regulation. The Blues look unbeatable at the moment, and Thomas has been incredible during the team's winning streak. He has collected 23 points (four goals, 19 assists) over the past 12 games. During the historic run, Thomas has finished without any points only once. The scoring surge has given Thomas a chance to post a second consecutive 80-point campaign. Over 66 appearances, he has managed 21 goals and 54 assists.

Dylan Holloway Considered Week-To-Week

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (lower body) has been listed as week-to-week. The Blues will be forced to spend time without Holloway after he sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Holloway's absence from the lineup leaves St. Louis without its third-best scorer. The 23-year-old has recorded 63 points (26 goals, 37 assists) in 77 games. Jimmy Snuggerud, who made his NHL debut earlier in the week, is set to take on a first-line role in Holloway's absence. On Thursday, Snuggerud recorded his first career point with an assist and has tallied four shots on goal in his first two NHL games while averaging 13:33 of ice time.

Jimmy Snuggerud Ready For NHL Debut Tuesday

St. Louis Blues right wing Jimmy Snuggerud will make his NHL debut in Tuesday's matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. The 20-year-old forward, a first-round pick in the 2022 NHL draft, signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Blues last Friday. He has just completed a prolific collegiate career with the University of Minnesota, producing 135 points (66 goals, 69 assists) in 119 NCAA appearances. Snuggerud, who bagged 51 points (24 goals, 27 assists) in 40 games this season, is among 10 candidates for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, presented annually to the top NCAA men's hockey player. The Blues are set to use Snuggerud in a third-line role on Tuesday, pairing him with Oskar Sundqvist and Zack Bolduc. He will also slot into the second power-play unit, giving him extra fantasy value.

Pavel Buchnevich Expected To Return On Saturday

St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich (illness) is on track to return to the lineup on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. The Russian star has battled an illness lately, missing four games. Buchnevich's return could bump Zack Bolduc out of the top six. The Blues have heated up lately with eight consecutive wins, putting Buchnevich in a good position to keep building on a solid season. He has notched 47 points (14 goals, 33 assists) in 68 games.

Robert Thomas Busy In Tuesday's Victory

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas tallied four points during their victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday evening. In the opening frame, Thomas tallied the secondary helper on Dylan Holloway's 24th goal of the season. In the second period, Thomas found the back of the net with a wrist shot. In the third, Thomas would cap off his evening tallying two points, with another secondary assist and a power-play goal. This outing extended his point streak to three contests. He has tallied at least three points in each of his previous two games. Over his last 13 contests, Thomas has found the back of the net three times but has added 13 helpers. Through 61 games, he has tallied 64 points, with 14 of them coming on the power play. He remains a must-start player on Thursday when he faces the Nashville Predators.

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.

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.

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.

Through 68 games this season, Kyrou has tallied 56 points (27 goals), with 15 of his points coming on the power play.

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 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 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 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.
