Sammy Blais will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Blais left Saturday's pre-season game with an upper-body injury and did not return.
Blais opened training camp on a line with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider but has since dropped down the depth chart and is now banged up. Blais shouldn't carry any fantasy value heading into the 2022-23 season. If he misses the Rangers' season opener, expect Vitaly Kravtsov to get into the lineup.
The Rangers have signed Sammy Blais to a one-year contract extension.
Blais will reportedly miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
Blais needed to be helped off of the ice midway through Sunday's game vs. the Devils. It is being reported that Blais may have suffered a torn ACL that will require surgery, ending his 2021-22 season.
Blais (undisclosed) will return to the Rangers lineup on Saturday.
Blais missed Thursday's game vs. the Stars but will be back in the lineup tonight in Montreal. Blais will replace Ryan Strome, who is on the COVID-19 protocol list.
Blais (lower-body) is day-to-day; will not play Thursday vs. the Stars.
The Rangers have acquired Sammy Blais and a 2022 second-round pick from the Blues for Pavel Buchnevich.
Blais has been a fixture of the Blues' bottom-6 over the last three seasons and likely won't be able to expand on that role with the Rangers. He doesn't offer a lot of offence, posting a career-high of just 15 points (8G / 7A) in 36 games a season ago. The Rangers have plenty of capable top-9 forwards, so expect Blais to be a fourth-liner to start 2021-22.
Blais (upper-body) will be back in the Blues lineup on Thursday.
Blais (COVID-19) will return to the Blues lineup on Monday.
Blais was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Saturday but is eligible to play Monday after it was revealed that it was a false positive. With Blais back in, the Blues will go back to 12 forwards and six defensemen.

After splitting time between the NHL and AHL in the last two years, Blais was a full-time NHLer in 2019-20. He missed some time due to right wrist surgery in November but produced 13 points (6G / 7A) in the 40 games he appeared in before the league was paused.

It's unclear whether or not Blais is dealing with an injury or not. He stayed on late during the morning skate, suggesting he won't play vs. the Islanders. If he doesn't play, Robert Bortuzzo will suit up as a seventh defenseman.
Blais will draw into the Blues lineup on Tuesday.
Blais has missed the last 28 games with an wrist injury but is set to replace Oskar Sundqvist tonight in Calgary. Blais had eight points (5G / 3A) in 20 games before getting hurt.

Blais will undergo surgery on his right wrist and will miss at least 10 weeks.
