Dvorsky was drafted 10th-overall by the Blues in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old Slovak forward played two games with the Blues last season, but spent most of the campaign in the AHL, where he scored 45 points (21G / 24A) in 61 games with the Springfield Thunderbirds.

Neighbours scored two goals in the Blues' 6-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, but seemingly aggravated a right leg injury. He did not play on Monday and is expected to miss at least five weeks before being reevaluated. The 23-year-old Neighbours had seven points (6G / 1A) in eight games this season before his injury.

The Blues have been leaky defensively lately, outscored 19-11 during three straight regulation losses, and hope Binnington can shut the door when he tends the twine on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. Binnington was in the Blues' crease on Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Red Wings when he allowed five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%). However, aside from that game, the 32-year-old Binnington has been serviceable, significantly outplaying his counterpart Joel Hofer, posting a 1.80 GAA and .911 SV% in his five contests before Saturday's (2-2-1). The Blues enter Tuesday's action as slight -102 home underdogs against the Red Wings.

With Robert Thomas (upper body) and Jake Neighbours (undisclosed) ruled out of Monday's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Alexey Toropchenko and Alexandrew Texier will draw back into the lineup. Toropchenko has only played one game this season after suiting up for 80 and 82 games in the previous two seasons for the Blues.

With Robert Thomas (upper body) and Jake Neighbours (undisclosed) ruled out of Monday's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Alexey Toropchenko and Alexandrew Texier will draw back into the lineup. The 26-year-old Texier is averaging 8:25 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in five games this season.

Neighbours scored two goals in the Blues' 6-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, but seemingly aggravated an undisclosed injury, sidelining him for at least one contest, beginning with Monday's meeting with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 23-year-old Neighbours has seven points (6G / 1A) in eight games this season.

Thomas suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, exiting the contest in the second period after only 12:21 time-on-ice. The 26-year-old Thomas managed two assists on Saturday before leaving, extending his point streak to the games (0G / 4A). He has six points (1G / 5A) in eight games this seaosn.

The Blues have been leaky defensively lately, allowing 13 goals in their last two games (0-2-0), and hope Hofer can shut things down when he returns to the crease on Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 25-year-old Hofer is a talented netminder with a 2.82 GAA and .904 SV% in 77 career games (36-23-5), but has been abysmal to start the 2025-26 season, posting a dreadful 6.22 GAA and .789 SV% in three outings (1-1-0). Still, the Blues enter Monday's contest as -118 road favorites against the Penguins.

With Oskar Sundqvist (lower body) making his season debut on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth, Texier will likely head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Texier is averaging a career-low 8:25 time-on-ice through five games and has one point (0G / 1A).

With Logan Mailloux expected to return to the Blues' lineup on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth, Tucker will likely be a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Tucker is averaging 13:00 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in six games this season.

Mailloux was a healthy scratch in the Blues' previous two games, replaced by Matthew Kessel, but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth. The 22-year-old Mailloux has zero points and a -7 plus/minus through four games this season.

Sundqvist suffered a lower-body injury at practice days before the season opened and has been sidelined since. The 31-year-old Sundqvist has 164 points (62G / 102A) in 493 career games. He will make his season debut on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth.

The Blues have outscored their opposition 9-4 in Jordan Binnington's last three starts (2-0-1), but they will turn to a struggling Hofer on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth, hoping he can elevate his game. The 25-year-old Hofer has an ugly 5.01 GAA and .824 SV% in two games (1-1-0), stats that vastly contrast his career average of 2.77 GAA and .905 SV% in 71 games (36-23-5). The Blues enter Thursday's contest as slight -115 home favorites against a Mammoth team riding a four-game winning streak.

Binnington was excellent in the Blues' most recent contest, allowing a goal in the final minutes to narrowly miss out on his first shutout of the season, saving 18 of 19 shots (.947 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars. The 32-year-old Binnington will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings, looking to build on a 2.81 GAA and .882 SV% through four appearances (2-1-0). The Blues enter Tuesday's contest as -132 home favourites against a 1-3-2 Kings team.
