Toropchenko will miss the start of the 2022-23 season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. Toropchenko will "probably be out until early December." Blues GM Doug Armstrong said that "it's one of those (injuries) where he could have potentially played with it and got injured again, then you're looking at a four- to five-month surgery." Toropchenko had two goals and two assists in 40 combined regular season and playoff games during his first NHL season.
Leddy has been out since Game 1 but will be paired with Colton Parayko in Game 5 in Minnesota. Leddy had no points with one hit in 22:22 TOI in Game 1.
Walker had no points and just one shot on goal in the first two games of the season, averaging just 7:49 TOI/gm. He'll be replaced by Dakota Joshua in the Blues' bottom-6.
