Toropchenko was a fourth-round pick (No.113 overall) in 2017 and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday. Toropchenko has five goals and four assists (nine points) in 22 AHL games this season. The Blues will be without David Perron, Robert Thomas and Brayden Schenn on Tuesday, clearing the way for Toropchenko.
Faulk has missed the last six games while in COVID-19 protocol but is set to return to the lineup on Tuesday. Brayden Schenn was moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Faulk to be activated. Faulk has enjoyed a strong start to the season, scoring four goals with six assists (10 points) in 22 games.
Schenn suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Ducks on Sunday and will be forced to miss at least the next three games after being moved to IR. Alexei Toropchenko was called up from the AHL to take Schenn's spot on the roster.
Thomas has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury. His move to IR opens up a roster spot to activate Tyler Bozak from the COVID-19 protocol list but he's eligible to be activated whenever he's healthy.
Broberg had one assist in his first eight NHL games. He was returned to the AHL for a short period of time, getting recalled to replace Kris Russell (upper-body) on the roster.
Thomas will miss Tuesday's game vs. the Panthers due to a lower-body injury and that will force the Blues to play one skater short tonight. Due to cap reasons, the Blues will have to go with 10 forwards and seven defensemen.
Schueneman is an undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan, who is in his third professional season. The 26-year-old defenseman has seven points (2G / 5A) in 18 AHL games this season and will travel with the team to Nashville because Jeff Petry is unavailable.
With Binnington going into the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, Charlie Lindgren has been recalled from the AHL and is expected to back-up Ville Husso in Tampa.
Joseph was banged up early in Sunday's game in Minnesota and he is not expected to play Tuesday in St. Louis. With Joseph out, Gabriel Fortier was recalled from the AHL and will make his NHL debut in Joseph's place.
Schenn missed the last nine games with an upper-body injury but returns to the lineup on Wednesday. Schenn, who has three goals and three assists in nine games, will centre the second line with Brandon Saad and Jordan Kyrou on his wings.
Schenn will miss his ninth consecutive game on Monday but it looks as if he will return to the lineup at some point this week. Schenn was on the ice again this morning and could be back as soon as Wednesday in Detroit.
