Robert Thomas Returns to Action With Multi-Point Effort

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas notched a goal and an assist in Sunday's surprising 3-1 road win against the Minnesota Wild. Thomas was back from a 13-game absence after missing time due to a leg injury and a personal matter. He set up Logan Mailloux for the game-tying goal in the second period and finished the scoring with an empty-net goal in the third. Thomas has had a frustrating year on a bad team but has now registered multiple points in each of his last two outings. He will aim for his first three-game multi-point streak of the season on Wednesday night against the Seattle Kraken. Thomas sits second in scoring on the Blues squad, with 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists) in 43 games.

Colton Parayko Doubtful for Sunday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko (back) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Wild, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. The 2026 Olympian exited the lineup for Saturday's game against New Jersey due to back spasms and appears poised to miss multiple games. Parayko leads the Blues with 141 blocks and has notched 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 58 contests. Matt Kessel replaced Parayko in the lineup on Saturday. Following Sunday's game, the Blues won't play again until Wednesday, giving Parayko extra time to recover.

Oskar Sundqvist • C • Blues

Oskar Sundqvist Available Saturday

St. Louis Blues center Oskar Sundqvist (upper body) is an option for Saturday's contest against the New Jersey Devils, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. The Swedish forward underwent surgery during the Olympic break and wasn't available for Thursday's matchup with the Seattle Kraken. In 43 outings this season, Sundqvist has registered 14 points (four goals, 10 assists), 34 shots, and 53 hits. He is likely to fill a bottom-six role if he returns on Saturday, limiting Sundqvist's fantasy appeal.

Jordan Binnington on Non-Roster List

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington is not on the roster for Thursday night's game versus the Kraken. Goaltender Joel Hofer will get the start in his place, and Georgi Romanov will serve as the backup. Binnington is expected to rejoin St. Louis for Saturday's game against New Jersey. For the season, Binnington has a 3.65 goals-against average and an .864 save percentage.

Dylan Holloway Rejoins Blues Lineup Thursday

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (ankle) will return to work on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken. He has missed 23 of the last 24 games due to a right high ankle sprain. The injury has been one of many challenges for Holloway during a testing campaign. A year after a 63-point season, he has contributed just eight goals and nine assists in 34 games. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect an improvement from Holloway, as the Blues are bound to finish among the worst teams in the league. For Thursday's game, Holloway is expected to be paired with Pius Suter and Jonatan Berggren on the third line. He will also have a spot on the second power-play unit.

Robert Thomas Takes Leave of Absence

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (leg, personal) won't be in the lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken. He has been granted a leave of absence to attend to a personal matter. Thomas is also currently on Injured Reserve after undergoing a minor leg procedure in late January. He is expected to return to the team on Friday, but it's unclear whether he will be an option for this weekend's back-to-back set. Thomas is among St. Louis' top scorers, with 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) in 42 games. Brayden Schenn (illness) may also be out on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice. As a result, Dalibor Dvorsky could handle the first-line center duties.

Jordan Binnington Records 26-Save Shutout Against Czechia

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington started the 2026 Olympics in outstanding form, recording a 26-save shutout in a 5-0 win over Czechia on Thursday. The 32-year-old became only the fourth Team Canada goaltender to post a shutout in an Olympic game featuring NHL players, joining Carey Price, Roberto Luongo, and Patrick Roy. Binnington has struggled with the Blues this season, going 8-17-6 in 30 starts with a 3.65 goals-against average and a .864 save percentage. However, he has a much stronger team in front of him at the Olympic tournament and has always performed well for his country. On Thursday, Binnington improved to 13-4 with Team Canada, recording his third career shutout on the international stage.

Jake Neighbours • LW • Blues

Jake Neighbours Available Monday

St. Louis Blues winger Jake Neighbours (upper body) will return to action on Monday against the Nashville Predators. He missed Saturday's loss to Columbus due to an upper-body injury. Neighbours is expected to join the second power-play unit and will skate with Pavel Buchnevich and Jordan Kyrou during even-strength play. It's been a tough season for Neighbours, as health issues have limited him to 42 appearances. He leads the Blues with 13 goals and has tallied 22 points. Although Neighbours scored in his most recent outing, he has finished 12 of his last 17 games without a point, making him an unreliable fantasy option.

Jordan Kyrou • C • Blues

Jordan Kyrou, Jake Neighbours Knocked Out of the Lineup Tuesday

St. Louis Blues forwards Jordan Kyrou (upper body) and Jake Neighbours (lower body) couldn't complete Tuesday's tilt against the Dallas Stars. St. Louis lost Neighbours to a lower-body injury in the first frame, and Kyrou sustained an upper-body injury in the third. The two started the game on the second line alongside Pavel Buchnevich. Injuries have been a constant concern for the Blues up front, and the team will be desperate to have at least one of Neighbours and Kyrou available on Thursday night against the Florida Panthers. If both miss time, Dalibor Dvorsky and Robby Fabbri are potential candidates to fill the top six spots.

Dylan Holloway Remains Out Tuesday

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (ankle) won't play on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. He recently reaggravated an ankle injury and will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game. While Holloway is considered day-to-day, it's unclear whether he can return to action before the Olympic break. The Blues will replace Otto Stenberg with Robby Fabbri on Tuesday night in the attack, while Jonatan Berggren is expected to continue in a top-line role. After starting well in St. Louis, Berggren has gone scoreless in eight consecutive appearances.

Dylan Holloway Out Friday

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (ankle) won't play on Friday night against the Dallas Stars. Holloway recently returned from a high-ankle sprain, but he landed back on the shelf after making just one appearance. Friday's game will be his second consecutive absence. The 24-year-old has returned to St. Louis for a precautionary MRI and is considered day-to-day. Holloway has taken a big step backwards this season, recording only 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 34 games. With Holloway unavailable, Jonatan Berggren has moved to the first line. The Blues' attack will also have Mathieu Joseph (elbow) back from a seven-game absence on Friday night.

Oskar Sundqvist Suffers Skate Cut Sunday

St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist (lower body) was involved in a scary incident during Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, suffering a skate cut. He needed assistance to leave the ice in the third period after being cut by a skate on his lower body. "Luckily, it did not touch his Achilles," Blues head coach Jim Montgomery said after the game. "So it's just going to be now, how long he's out, it's day-to-day... We know the cut was deep, I don't know how long that takes until he's back and has the flexibility in his ankle without hurting the cut." Sundqvist operates in a bottom-six role, recording 10 points (three goals, 10 assists) and 47 hits in 39 appearances this season. The team will turn to Robby Fabbri or Jonatan Berggren to fill Sundqvist's spot in the lineup.

Dylan Holloway Set to Return Sunday

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (ankle) will rejoin the lineup on Sunday night against the Edmonton Oilers. He has missed 15 games due to an ankle injury. Holloway is likely to fill a top-six role and should also see power-play time. Many Blues players have struggled this season, and Holloway is among them. In 33 games, he has picked up 17 points (eight goals, nine assists). On Sunday night, Holloway will go up against an Oilers team that just recorded its third shutout of the season.

Joel Hofer • G • Blues

Joel Hofer Controls Hurricanes Tuesday

St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer produced a 33-save shutout against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night, backstopping his team to a 3-0 victory. Hofer became the first Blues goaltender with four shutouts in a season since Jordan Binnington in 2018-19, tying Ilya Sorokin of the New York Islanders and Jesper Wallstedt of the Minnesota Wild for the league lead. After an awful start to the season, Hofer began to pick up form in December and has enjoyed a 4-2-0 stretch. He has improved his record to 10-9-2 and has a 2.81 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage for the season.

Robert Thomas Out Tuesday

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (lower body) won't play on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes and is considered day-to-day. Reports indicate that Thomas recently aggravated a lower-body injury. Thomas tops the Blues with 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) through 42 games and stands as the team's only player to reach at least 25 points this season. With Thomas sidelined, Brayden Schenn and Dalibor Dvorsky will operate as the top-six centers. At the same time, Nick Bjugstad (upper body) will return from a 15-game absence and slot into the lineup as the third-line center.

Philip Broberg • D • Blues

Philip Broberg Likely Out Tuesday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg is in concussion protocol and is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports. On Monday, Blues head coach Jim Montgomery said the team's medical staff is "very happy" with Broberg's progress. But he is poised to miss time after getting hurt during Saturday's loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Broberg, who inked a six-year, $48 million contract extension last week, has registered 15 points (two goals, 13 assists), 58 shots, and 71 blocks with a plus-one rating in 46 outings this season. Matthew Kessel is expected to take Broberg's place in the lineup on Tuesday.

Philip Broberg Suffers Upper-Body Injury Saturday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (upper body) was limited to 55 seconds of ice time in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. He exited the action due to an upper-body injury shortly after assisting Robert Thomas on the game's opening goal. It was a sad ending to an exciting day for Broberg, who inked a six-year, $48 million extension with the Blues only a few hours before the game. Broberg's new contract demonstrates the organization's continued confidence in him, even after an underwhelming 2025-26 season. The Swedish blue-liner has recorded 15 points (two goals, 13 assists), 58 shots, and 71 blocks.

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 • C • Blues

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.
