| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | David Backes  ActiveWith the St. Louis Blues eliminated, David Backes will play for the U.S. team in the 2013 World Hockey Championships. Backes generated a disappointing offensive output in the 2013 regular season, managing 28 points in 48 games on just 100 SOG. His six goals would've been well short of the pace he generated in 2010-11 (31 tallies) and 2011-12 (24). May 11 |
| 2 | Patrik Berglund  ActivePatrik Berglund scored a goal in St. Louis' 2-1 victory on Thursday. Berglund now has three goals in five games, dating back to the regular season. He had 17 goals and 25 points in 48 contests prior to the playoffs. May 3 |
| 3 | Alexander Steen  ActiveAlexander Steen couldn't lead the St. Louis Blues past the Los Angeles Kings in Game 5 on Wednesday, but he did collect his third goal of the series. It's been a minor breakout year of sorts for the former Toronto Maple Leafs forward, as he's shown he's one of the reasons why the Blues' balanced attack can be dangerous when it's on. Alex Pietrangelo breathed a sigh of relief with his first goal of the 2013 postseason in that 3-2 OT loss to Los Angeles. May 9 |
| LW | 1 | David Perron  ActiveDavid Perron's demotion to the fourth line didn't last long, as he played most of Tuesday's game with Patrik Berglund and Vladimir Tarasenko. Coach Ken Hitchcock wasn't pleased with Perron's turnover in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Colorado. The Blues bench boss was impressed with his response though even though he didn't get a point in Tuesday's win over the Avalanche. Apr 24 |
| 2 | Jaden Schwartz  ActiveJaden Schwartz practiced on Sunday after getting hurt Saturday. Schwartz was hobbling during the third period of Game 3 Saturday but there were no ill effects Sunday. "Just a little banged up at the time, but it's fine now," Schwartz said. "I got a little bit twisted up when I fell into the boards, but it's fine now. I just wanted to see how it feels - a short little skate for the team - but it was good to get out there and feel the puck a little bit." He should be in the lineup for Game 4 Tuesday. May 6 |
| 3 | Andrew Murray  ActiveAndrew Murray has been recalled by St. Louis. "Peoria has only two games remaining and if Andrew got hurt, it would be shame on us," coach Ken Hitchcock said. "He's an extra guy. He's available to us. We're going to need him and we want to make him part of the group right away." The Blues have injuries to T. J. Oshie, Scott Nichol and Jamie Langenbrunner and Peoria won't make it to the AHL playoffs. Murray has skated in one NHL game this season. Apr 18 |
| 4 | Vladimir Sobotka  ActiveVladimir Sobotka had the closest thing to a standout Sunday for St. Louis as the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Blues 2-0. Sobotka had four SOG, two PIM and went 9-3 on faceoffs for a useful fantasy night despite the defeat. Apr 14 |
| 5 | Evgeny Grachev  ActiveEvgeny Grachev has been summoned by the St. Louis Blues. Grachev has 11 goals and 15 assists in 76 games this season. He also has a goal and four points in 34 career NHL contests. Apr 27 |
| RW | 1 | T.J. Oshie  ActiveT.J. Oshie recorded a team-worst minus-4 for the Blues in their opening round series loss to Los Angeles. Oshie returned from a late-season injury to suit up for the Blues in Game One of the series, but it's fair to question whether he returned too soon, as he became a defensive liability. The winger is a talented scorer and we shouldn't read too much into such a small sample, but let's hope coach Ken Hitchcock has a short memory entering next season. May 11 |
| 2 | Chris Stewart  ActiveChris Stewart can become a restricted free agent during the off-season. Stewart is coming off a great season with 18 goals to lead the Blues, and 36 assists in 48 games after a 15 goal, 30 point season in 79 games in the 2011-12 season. He is entitled to arbitration so the Blues and Stewart could come to an agreement in August. He should be a 30 goal, 55+ point player barring injury next season so draft him accordingly. Jun 10 |
| 3 | Vladimir Tarasenko  ActiveThe St. Louis Blues ordered Vladimir Tarasenko to get in better shape before training camp. Tarasenko's play sagged noticeably after he missed nearly a month due to a concussion. However, the rookie was flat-out fantastic to watch early on in the year and the Blues have made it clear he'll be a key part of their team next season. "We’ve given him a clear mandate on what we expect when he gets back here, what we’re going to see from him on a conditioning level, the grind that he’s going to have to do," GM Doug Armstrong said recently. Tarasenko played in just one playoff game after scoring eight goals and 19 points in 38 regular-season games. Jun 11 |
| 4 | Jamie Langenbrunner  I.L.Jamie Langenbrunner hopes to play next season, but it doesn't look like it will be with the St. Louis Blues. "I don't think I'm in their plans," said Langenbrunner. The Blues won't offer him a contract, but they haven't closed the door on sending a PTO his way. He appeared in just four games this past season and underwent season-ending hip surgery in mid-February. Langenbrunner said he is feeling much better now though. Jun 12 |
| 5 | Ryan Reaves  ActiveThe St. Louis Blues fourth line, consisting of Adam Cracknell, Chris Porter and Ryan Reaves have been given the nickname of the CPR line. "It's got a good ring to it," Cracknell said. "That pretty much sums up our line. We try to bring as much energy to the team any way we can." Reaves has been the Blues top hitter with 15 hits, second most in the NHL during the playoffs. May 5 |
| 6 | Adam Cracknell  ActiveAdam Cracknell signed a one-year extension with the Blues worth $600,000. The 27-year-old had six points in 20 games with St. Louis, and he recorded 17 goals and 16 assists in the AHL. Cracknell was set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. May 24 |
| 7 | Chris Porter  ActiveChris Porter scored the lone goal for the St. Louis Blues in a 2-1 loss Friday night. Porter was in the right place at the right time as a Roman Polak shot deflected off Porter and past Kings goalie Jonathan Quick. Porter had just two goals and eight points in 29 games this season and is more of a depth forward at this point in his career. May 11 |
| D | 1 | Alex Pietrangelo  ActiveAlex Pietrangelo will likely become a restricted free agent in the off-season. The Blues and the agent for Pietrangelo have not had many discussions thus far to prevent the defenseman from testing the waters on July 5 but with the Blues having the right to match any offer, it is very unlikely that Pietrangelo will head elsewhere. "He had a good year, but not as good a year as his second year," GM Doug Armstrong said of Pietrangelo. "So we have to figure out where all that fits into the market moving forward. As I look at our group, he has the best opportunity to be an elite (player) of anyone on our team right now. But opportunity has to cross-sect with the final result." Pietrangelo had five goals and 24 points in 47 games with an even plus-minus rating in 2013 after a 12 goal, 51 point effort with a plus-16 effort in 2011-12. Look for him to return to 2011-12 form next season and draft him accordingly. Jun 9 |
| 2 | Kevin Shattenkirk  ActiveIt appears that Kevin Shattenkirk will be a restricted free agent on July 5. The two sides have not really met to discuss a new contract but will likely get together in the next week or two to get the ball rolling as GM Doug Armstrong stated there is no rush as most players usually try restricted free agency. "He's been an interesting three-year study because his numbers have almost stayed flat across the board," Armstrong said of Shattenkirk. "I look at that as a positive, that he's defining himself relatively quickly." Do not expect Shattenkirk to be going anywhere as the Blues will likely match any offer he receives, unless it's a ridiculous one that nets the Blues a boatload of draft picks. Jun 10 |
| 3 | Jay Bouwmeester  ActiveJay Bouwmeester is getting ready for his first postseason game. Bouwmeester, 29, has played in 762 career contests without participating in a playoff game. However, the St. Louis Blues have clinched a playoff berth. "I think they have a good team here, we have a team that's kind of built for that (playoff) kind of hockey," he said. "That's the focus now, it's not just getting in. We want to win. It's fun winning, we've had a pretty good stretch here. It's a young group of guys; I kind of feel a little old sometimes but it's been fun. I've enjoyed my time here -- and hopefully I have a long time here." Bouwmeester is signed through the 2013-14 campaign. Apr 25 |
| 4 | Kris Russell  ActiveKris Russell will dress Thursday night in the place of injured defenseman Barret Jackman. He has played only one of the Blues' last 12 games when he skated as a forward in Detroit on April 7. Russell has five points and a plus-4 rating in 31 games this season. Apr 25 |
| 5 | Barret Jackman  ActiveThe Blues' core has matured enough that general manager Doug Armstrong no longer feels the need to add any veteran mentors. With Jamie Langenbrunner likely out and Scott Nichol and Andy McDonald gone, St. Louis is without its three oldest players. Barret Jackman at 32 would be the team's oldest player. "We’ve talked to our leadership group about this," Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said. "Those players were brought in to certainly play on the ice, but to give assistance off the ice. I think this group now is past the point of needing mentorship. What they’ve learned from those guys, they’ve learned. They have to put it in to place now." Jun 12 |
| 6 | Jordan Leopold  ActiveJordan Leopold will play his first game for the St. Louis Blues without the benefit of a practice with his teammates. The good news for Leopold is that he will be playing in his home state of Minnesota for his Blues debut after spending all season in the Eastern Conference with the Sabres. He only had two goals and eight points this season but had three straight seasons of double digit goals so he definitely knows how to score. He will play with Kevin Shattenkirk on the blueline and that will not hurt the offensive side of his game. Apr 1 |
| 7 | Roman Polak  ActiveBlues defenseman Roman Polak is upset with his play on the eventual game-winning goal for the Kings Friday. With second remaining in the second period of a 1-1 game, Kings forward Dustin Penner fired a long shot on goal in desperation, but Polak's attempt to block it screened goaltender Brian Elliot and led to the go-ahead marker for Los Angeles. "It was a bad play by me," he said. "There were just two seconds left. I tried to block it and I just got a piece of it." May 11 |
| 8 | Taylor Chorney  ActiveSt. Louis Blues sign Taylor Chorney to one-year, two-way contract. Chorney played the entire season with Peoria of the AHL before being promoted briefly at the end of the regular season. The former second-round pick of the Oilers scored four goals and 24 points to go along with 37 penalty minutes in 73 games. Jun 18 |
| 9 | Ian Cole  ActiveUpdating a previous post, the St. Louis Blues announced they've re-signed Ian Cole to a two-year contract. Cole played just 15 games for the Blues this season, registering one assist, 10 penalty minutes and a minus-4 rating. Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported the new deal will pay Cole $1.65 million over two years and is a one-way contract. Cole is unlikely to have much fantasy value going forward. May 28 |
| 10 | Jeff Woywitka  ActiveJeff Woywitka has been called up by the St. Louis Blues. Woywitka has a goal and 11 points in 34 AHL games this season. He's an organizational depth defenseman. Apr 27 |
| 11 | Jani Hakanpaa  ActiveSt. Louis Blues recall Jani Hakanpaa from AHL Peoria. Hakanpaa appeared in 14 games with Peoria this season, registering one goal and three assists. The 20-year-old blueliner was the Blues' fourth-round pick in the 2010 entry draft. Apr 23 |
| G | 1 | Brian Elliott  ActiveBrian Elliott stopped 14 of 16 shots as the St. Louis Blues lost 2-1 Friday night and were eliminated in Game 6. Elliott and the Blues lost four straight after staking a 2-0 lead in the incredibly physical series. The margin of victory in most of the games was razor thin and Friday night was no different, with Dustin Penner's last-second goal in the second period proving to be the difference. It's a goal Elliott will carry all offseason with the Blues netminder likely kicking himself for sitting back in the crease instead of challenging Penner's slap shot from just inside the blue line. It's the second straight year the Kings have eliminated the Blues. May 11 |
| 2 | Jake Allen  ActiveJake Allen made 15 saves on 19 shots in the Blues' 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets Friday night. With Jaroslav Halak expected to miss the remainder of the season, Allen and Brian Elliott should be owned in 12-team leagues. With the loss tonight, the 22-year-old rookie is 9-4 in this 48-game shortened season. Apr 12 |
| 3 | Jaroslav Halak  ActiveSt. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong acknowledged the elephant in the room: the team's goaltending situation is "cloudy." All three of Jaroslav Halak, Brian Elliott and Jake Allen could argue that they deserve playing time. Of note: Allen is a restricted free agent this summer while Elliott and Halak have one year left on their deals. It could be an interesting offseason storyline. May 12 |
