Toropchenko played 10:43 time-on-ice in Thursday's season-opening 5-0 blowout loss to the Minnesota Wild. The 26-year-old scored 18 points (4G / 14A) in 80 games last season. His status for Saturday's contest against the Calgary Flames is unclear.

The Blues started the 2024-25 season as one of the NHL’s worst teams, prompting a coaching change, with Jim Montgomery taking over in late November. After the coaching switch, Binnington posted a 22-13-4 record with three shutouts and had a top-10 GAA (2.53) and SV% (.905) among goalies that played 30 games. Jim Montgomery will turn to Binnington on Thursday and hope he can build off the momentum he garnered in the second half of last season. The Blues enter their season-opening matchup against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday as -124 home favourites.

The Blues added some depth to their crease on Wednesday, signing goalie Georgi Romanov to a one-year, two-way contract. The 25-year-old Romanov played in eight games for the Sharks last season (0-6-0), posting a troubling 3.89 GAA and .877 SV%.

Sundqvist exited practice on Sunday due to a lower-body injury and has not practiced since. Blues' GM Doug Armstrong ruled Sundqvist out of the lineup for the next three games but isn't expecting the injury to linger for more than a week.

With St. Louis off on Monday, they were unable to provide an update on Oskar Sundqvist after he left practice on Sunday with what appeared to be a lower-body injury.

Fowler flourished after being traded from Anaheim to St. Louis last season and has earned himself a three-year extension worth $6.1 million AAV ($18.3M total) with St. Louis on Saturday. The 33-year-old is entering his 16th NHL season and his first full season with St. Louis after picking up nine goals and 36 points in 51 games after his trade last season.

Walker came out of nowhere to score three goals and four points in seven playoff games last season and has earned himself a two-year contract extension worth $887,500 AAV ($1.775M total).

Suseyev was St.Louis's 2023 7th round pick and will head to North America for the first time after signing a three-year, entry-level contract on Wednesday.

Carbonneau was St. Louis' 2025 1st round pick (19th overall) and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blues on Wednesday. The Quebec native skyrocketed up draft boards last season after an impressive 46-goal, 89-point campaign with Blainville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) in 62 games played. The 18-year-old will look to crack the Blues' roster out of training camp, but is expected to spend the majority of the season back in junior for a third year.

St. Louis announced Wednesday that 22-year-old forward Zach Dean will be away from his team indefinitely as he receives care from the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. The 2021 1st round pick (30th overall) appeared in only 11 games for Springfield (AHL) in 2024-25 due to a lower-body injury.

After four seasons in San Jose's organization, Thomas Bordeleau has jumped ship and signed a one-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Thursday. The 23-year-old forward was San Jose's 2020 2nd-round pick (38th overall) and, despite only appearing in one game with the Sharks in 2024-25, has six goals and 18 points in 44 games total with San Jose since joining in 2021-22. He is expected to start the 2025-26 season in Utica (AHL) after putting up 14 goals and 38 points in 59 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) last year.

Vadim Zherenko will return for a fourth season in Springfield (AHL) after signing a one-year, two-way contract extension with St. Louis. The 24-year-old Russian netminder was St. Louis' 2019 7th-round pick (208th overall) and spent the entire 2024-25 season with Springfield, where he struggled with his 12-17-5 record, .897 SV% and 3,44 GAA.

One of the biggest offseason targets is off the board after St. Louis announced they signed Pius Suter to a two-year contract worth $4.125 million AAV ($8.25M total). The 29-year-old Swiss center leaves Vancouver after a career season where he posted highs in goals (25), points (46) and PIMs (18) across 81 games played. He is expected to take on a role as St. Louis' 2nd or 3rd center this upcoming season.
