Hands out assist in win Toropchenko logged an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over Utah.

Impact Toropchenko helped out on an Alexandre Texier tally in the first period. The assist ended a seven-game dry spell for Toropchenko, though he has just four helpers over 28 contests since the start of December. The 25-year-old is now at eight points, 49 shots on net, 117 hits and a minus-1 rating through 51 appearances, a major step back from his 21-point campaign in 2023-24. He remains firmly in a bottom-six role with virtually no power-play time, so he's not a particularly strong player for fantasy rosters.

Collects helper in defeat Toropchenko distributed an even-strength assist and went plus-1 in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Toropchenko recorded the secondary assist on Radek Faksa's game-winning goal shortly after the midway point of the third period. This was Toropchenko's first point in seven games, but he hasn't scored since Nov. 5. The 25-year-old hasn't been much of a factor in a fourth-line role this season, logging one goal, seven points, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 43 appearances.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up assist in loss Toropchenko notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Toropchenko has two assists over his last seven outings while primarily playing on the fourth line in that span. The 25-year-old has not been a steady source of offense this season, producing six points, 35 shots on net, 77 hits, 26 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 36 outings. Toropchenko has held his place in the lineup well and doesn't appear to be at risk of losing playing time to Mathieu Joseph.

Moves up, earns helper Toropchenko posted an assist, four shots on goal and three hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Toropchenko had gone 13 games without a point entering Sunday. Rather than scratching the winger, head coach Jim Montgomery moved him to the second line, and Toropchenko responded by setting up Jordan Kyrou's second-period tally. Dylan Holloway moved to the third line, but Toropchenko's playing style is typically better suited to bottom-six usage, so expect more lineup shuffling in the near future. Toropchenko has five points, 32 shots on net, 60 hits, 23 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 30 outings this season, and it's unlikely he'll score enough to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rare two-point game Toropchenko had two assists Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact The line of Toropchenko, Radek Faksa and Nathan Walker were on fire Saturday, delivering two goals and three assists and accounting for almost all of the Blues' regulation points. Toropchenko now has one goal, three assists, 18 shots, 11 PIM and 34 hits. He and his linemates are better known for their checking effectiveness than their offense.

Finds twine in win Toropchenko scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact The goal was Toropchenko's first of the season, snapping an eight-game point drought. The 25-year-old saw a season-high 16:44 of ice time as he was called on to fill a larger role after Dylan Holloway (upper body) exited the game. Toropchenko has two points, 14 shots on net, 25 hits, 11 blocked shots, seven PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 11 outings this season. He's mainly a checking-line winger, though he can chip in some depth offense as well.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inks one-year extension Toropchenko signed a one-year, $1.7 million contract with St. Louis on Tuesday.

Impact Toropchenko is playing in the final season of his two-year, $2.5 million deal. He has one assist, seven shots on goal, eight blocked shots and 18 hits through seven outings this season. The 25-year-old forward notched 14 goals and 21 points across 82 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Thursday Toropchenko (lower body) will return to the lineup in Toronto on Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Toropchenko missed the last two games with the injury. He had one assist in five games this season. The winger will return to his role on the fourth line, alongside Radek Faksa and Kasperi Kapanen.

OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Tuesday Toropchenko (lower body) will remain on the sideline ahead of Tuesday's clash with Winnipeg, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

Impact Toropchenko will be out of the lineup for his second consecutive contest due to his lower-body issue. Considering the 25-year-old winger is goalless through five games this season with just one assist to show for it, he may not have been included in the lineup even if healthy -- especially now that Alexandre Texier (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower-body injury Toropchenko is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Impact Toropchenko, who has one assist in five games this year, appears to be a game-time call ahead of Saturday's matchup with Carolina. Nathan Walker would likely step into a fourth-line role if Toropchenko can't go.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deals assist in overtime win Toropchenko produced an assist, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Toropchenko set up Ryan Suter's third-period tally, which cut the Blues' deficit to one goal. After establishing himself with 21 points in 82 games last year, Toropchenko looks poised to hold onto a bottom-six role in 2024-25. He's picked up seven hits and five PIM over the first two games of the campaign, and while his offense is unlikely to move the needle, he can be an asset for fantasy managers in formats that reward his physical play.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies 14 goals in bottom-six role Toropchenko recorded 14 goals and seven assists across 82 games during the 2023-24 season.

Impact Toropchenko played almost exclusively in the bottom six, but he was briefly promoted to the top six when the Blues' playoff hopes were in desperation mode. The 6-foot-6 forward is known for his defensive presence and physicality -- he dished out 165 hits -- but the scoring touch adds to his versatility. The 24-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract next season.

APRIL 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Builds on career highs Toropchenko assisted on a first-period goal during Sunday's 4-1 win over Seattle.

Impact The 24-year-old built on career-best totals with Sunday's apple. Through 81 games, Toropchenko has 14 goals and 21 points, both career highs. He's only providing secondary scoring, but his continued growth leaves something to consider as fantasy managers look for depth production next year.

APRIL 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opportunity knocks Toropchenko will skate on the second line and the second power-play unit in Monday's game versus the Oilers, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Blues' playoff hopes are slipping away, so now seems like the right time to see what Toropchenko can do in the top six. However, interim head coach Drew Bannister stated that Toropchenko earned the opportunity after excelling in a bottom-six role and defending well on the penalty kill. The 24-year-old has been impressive this year with 14 goals and six assists through 74 games despite averaging just 12:17 of ice time per contest.

APRIL 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lights lamp against Kings Toropchenko scored a goal and dished out two hits across 10:57 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Getting pucks on net is the name of the game, and Toropchenko showed why when he fired a wrister from the blue line and it snuck by Cam Talbot's blocker. This was his fourth goal in seven games and his 13th goal of the season. The big-bodied winger has averaged 12:19 of ice time this season, so he's not a steady fantasy producer despite the recent surge.

MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring Toropchenko recorded a goal and one hit in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

Impact In a low-scoring affair, Toropchenko tipped one past Marc-Andre Fleury in the first period on only the third shot of the game. Toropchenko added a hit, one shot on net and a plus-1 rating in 9:30 of ice time. This was the 24-year old's first point in eight games. Limited ice time - he averages 12:22 on the season - remains the biggest hurdle for Toropchenko's fantasy value. Until his ice time increases, consistent point production is unlikely.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores immediately in blowout win Toropchenko recorded a goal and four shots on net in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Toropchenko dazzled with a between-the-legs move to get around Canadiens defenseman Jayden Struble before deking around former Blues goalie Jake Allen to open the scoring just 25 seconds into the game. The 24-year-old is skating on the fourth line and has managed eight goals and four assists through 51 games, but his two-way acumen has kept him in the lineup all season.

Finds twine Wednesday Toropchenko scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Toropchenko snapped a 13-game point drought with his tally in the third period Wednesday. The 24-year-old winger has maintained a steady spot in the bottom six despite his slump, providing a bit of a physical edge for the Blues. He's at 11 points, 53 shots on net, 65 hits, 29 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 46 outings this season, so he's not popping up enough to justify a roster spot in most fantasy formats.

JANUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Thursday's win Toropchenko scored a goal and fired two shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Toropchenko has averaged just 11:06 of ice time in December and has produced just two goals, an assist and 13 shots on net through 10 games. He adds a physical touch to the bottom six with 17 hits in that stretch, but it's not enough to vault himself onto the fantasy radar.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring in Vegas Toropchenko scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 OT road win against the Golden Knights.

Impact Toropchenko got the Blues off on a good foot, scoring at 19:39 of the first period to give the visitors a lead with help to Colton Parayko and Oskar Sundqvist. He was good for a plus-1 rating, two shots on goal and a blocked shot, making the most of his 8:38 of ice time in just 12 shifts on the fourth line. Toropchenko has managed three goals and four points in the past eight games.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies goal Sunday Toropchenko provided a goal in a 3-1 win over Anaheim on Sunday.

Impact Toropchenko snapped a three-game scoring drought. He has three goals and five points in 17 contests this season. Toropchenko is playing on the third line and has received almost no power-play ice time this season, so his offensive production is likely to stay low.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores late in win Toropchenko scored a goal on five shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Toropchenko netted the Blues' last goal of the game, which came in the final minute. The tally was his second over six contests in November. He's played mainly in a bottom-six role this season, amassing four points, 19 hits, 12 blocked shots, 12 PIM, 13 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 13 appearances.

Set to play Wednesday Toropchenko (lower body) is expected to suit up against Colorado on Wednesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Toropchenko has yet to find the back of the net this season and has managed just six shots through seven games -- not exactly the type of performance that will be encouraging to fantasy players. Still, in formats that utilize hits, the 24-year-old winger could offer decent value after dishing out 13 to open the campaign.
