Blues' Kasperi Kapanen: Hits waivers
Kapanen was placed on waivers Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Kapanen has been limited to 10 appearances this season because of five healthy scratches and a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury. He has contributed one goal, 11 shots on net and 15 hits when he's been in the lineup. If Kapanen clears waivers, he could see regular playing time with AHL Springfield.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Continues productive season
Kyrou notched an even-strength assist in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Carolina.
Kyrou set up Jake Neighbours' fifth goal of the season to open the scoring in the loss. The 26-year-old Kyrou had a six-game point streak snapped against Boston on Saturday, and that's the only time he's been held off the scoresheet through eight contests in November. The right-shot winger has produced steady offense, but he hasn't delivered a multi-point outing since Oct. 24 against Toronto. Through 19 games, Kyrou leads the Blues in scoring by a margin of five points -- the Ontario native has provided five goals, 11 assists and a plus-2 rating.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Nets lone goal in loss
Neighbours scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Neighbours had the Blues' lone tally of the game, opening the scoring 6:05 into the first period. The winger had gone nine games without a goal, adding just two assists in that span. The 22-year-old is up to five goals, three helpers, 34 shots on net, 43 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 19 appearances. As long as he's in a top-six role, he should have opportunities to turn his offense around.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Subpar performance in loss
Hofer allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Hofer allowed three goals at even strength and one on the power play. After starting the season with three straight wins, the 24-year-old has lost three consecutive outings. This was the Winnipeg native's first start in 10 days, as Jordan Binnington continues to see the bulk of the workload between the pipes. Hofer has a 3-3-0 record, .893 save percentage and 3.45 GAA.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Tending twine Sunday
Hofer will guard the road goal against Carolina on Sunday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Hofer will get the second half of the Blues' back-to-back after Jordan Binnington played in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Boston. The 24-year-old Hofer has a 3-2-0 record with a 3.33 GAA and a .903 save percentage through five appearances this season. Carolina ranks fourth in the league with 4.00 goals per game and earned a 4-0 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Snags helper in overtime win
Perunovich logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Perunovich helped out on a Radek Faksa tally in the first period. Both of Perunovich's points this season have come over the last four games as he finally looks to be finding his way on offense. A larger role helps -- the Blues are without the services of Philip Broberg (lower body), Nick Leddy (lower body) and Pierre-Olivier Joseph (lower body) at this time, decimating the left side of the team's defense. Perunovich has added four shots on net, 12 blocked shots, six hits and a minus-1 rating over nine outings.

Blues' Nathan Walker: Nets equalizer Saturday
Walker scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Walker snapped a five-game slump with the third-period tally, which tied the game at 2-2. The 30-year-old has meshed well with Radek Faksa and Alexei Toropchenko as a checking trio. Through 13 appearances, Walker has two goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 52 hits and an even plus-minus rating. His career high in points is 13 over 45 contests in 2023-24, but he's started well enough to be in position to surpass that mark this season.

Blues' Brayden Schenn: Secures win in overtime
Schenn scored the game-winning goal, added five shots on net, levied two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Schenn tallied 2:53 into the extra session to secure the win for the Blues. He scored in both of the team's games against Boston this season. The center has four points over his last three outings, and he's up to three goals, six helpers, 46 shots on net, 36 hits, 19 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 18 appearances. He continues to fill a top-six role while Robert Thomas (ankle) is out.

Blues' Jordan Binnington: Gets OT win
Binnington made 15 saves Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over Boston.
He was beaten twice by Trent Frederic, who hadn't scored in 17 games. The first was on a rebound; the second was a tip. The win was Binnington's first in four games (1-2-1), and overall, he's 5-7-1 with a 3.20 GAA and an .886 save percentage playing behind a thin Blues squad that's outside the playoffs right now. It's hard to trust him from a fantasy perspective, but hold tight in case he gets traded. A jersey change could bring new life to his value.

Blues' Alexei Toropchenko: Rare two-point game
Toropchenko had two assists Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
The line of Toropchenko, Radek Faksa and Nathan Walker were on fire Saturday, delivering two goals and three assists and accounting for almost all of the Blues' regulation points. Toropchenko now has one goal, three assists, 18 shots, 11 PIM and 34 hits in 16 appearances this season. He and his linemates are better known for their checking effectiveness than their offense.

Blues' Radek Faksa: Surprise offense from checker
Faksa had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
He redirected a point shot in the first period to put the Blues up 1-0. It was Faksa's second goal of the season, and he has four points (two goals, two assists) in 18 games overall. Faksa is a strong, third-line presence for the Blues, but his offensive contributions are rare. He hasn't delivered 30 points or more since 2018-19 (30).

Blues' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Set to miss at least two games
Joseph (lower-body) has returned to St. Louis for evaluation and will miss Saturday's tilt in Boston, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Joseph left Thursday's game in Buffalo early in the second period and did not return. He likely won't be available for Sunday's matchup against Carolina, either. Joseph has one assist and 23 PIM in 13 games this season. Corey Schueneman will make his St. Louis debut versus the Bruins.

Blues' Jordan Binnington: Facing Bruins
Binnington will be between the road pipes versus Boston on Saturday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Binnington has struggled of late, going 0-2-1 in his last three starts while allowing 15 goals on 90 shots. The 31-year-old netminder is 4-7-1 with a 3.32 GAA and an .886 save percentage. The Bruins have had trouble finding the back of the net this season, scoring only 45 goals in 18 games.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Logs helper Thursday
Neighbours recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Neighbours did a little bit of everything in a top-six role Thursday. The winger's scoring has dried up -- he's gone eight games without a goal and has just two assists in that span despite steady ice time. The 22-year-old is at four goals, three assists, 30 shots on net, 39 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 17 outings overall. Neighbours' physical play makes him an option in formats that reward that kind of production, but his offense hasn't taken a step forward from last year's 38-point breakout campaign.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Snags assist Thursday
Kyrou posted an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Kyrou extended his point streak to six games (three goals, three assists) when he set up a Pavel Buchnevich tally in the second period. However, Kyrou saw a season-low 14:29 of ice time Thursday, which could be a concern if his role shrinks in the near future. The 26-year-old has been strong with five goals, 10 assists and 51 shots on net through 17 contests, but his fantasy value is dependent on offense. He's also earned just three power-play points after logging 20-plus points with the man advantage in each of the previous two years.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Logs helper in defeat
Parayko distributed an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Parayko recorded the secondary assist on Brandon Saad's tally to open the scoring. The right-shot Parayko compiled two shots, four blocks, one hit, one takeaway and a minus-1 rating in 30:37 of ice time. The Alberta native has been one of the best St. Louis players early on in 2024-25 -- he leads the club's blue line in scoring and is third overall on the team in points. Parayko has provided four goals, six assists, 35 shots, 43 blocks, 30 hits, seven takeaways and a minus-5 rating through 17 games.
