Blues Newcomers Broberg and Holloway Doing Their Part As St. Louis Surges in Central DivisionThe St. Louis Blues have got off to a strong start this season. Adam Proteau says the contributions of newcomers Philip Broberg and Dylan Ho...
Jack Drury - Pockets helper in lossDrury notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
ImpactDrury saw 14:08 of ice time Saturday, and his playing time has been trending in the right direction lately. He's still the fourth-line center for the Hurricanes, so he'll struggle to put up consistent offense. His assist was his first point of the year to go with three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating through four outings.

Jaccob Slavin - Slings assist in lossSlavin notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
ImpactAnyone with bets on Slavin for the Lady Byng need not worry about his penalty -- it was for putting a puck over the glass. The notoriously well-behaved defenseman continues to play in a top-pairing role at even strength with just a small trace of power-play time. He's picked up two assists, six shots on net and 10 blocked shots through four contests. If he gets hot on offense, he's worth streaming in fantasy, but he has just one 40-point campaign over his first nine NHL seasons, so Slavin isn't a reliable source of offense.

Philip Broberg - Point streak up to six gamesBroberg logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
ImpactBroberg is one of nine defensemen in NHL history to begin his time with a new franchise with a point streak of at least six games. The blueliner has a goal, five assists, seven shots on net, six hits, three blocked shots and a plus-6 rating this season. Broberg has quickly taken to a top-four role with power-play time, and while the offense won't last all year, he's definitely played well enough to be worth consideration in fantasy.

Brayden Schenn - Chips in with assistSchenn notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
ImpactSchenn has two points through six contests this season. He's been listed on the third line, but with 17-plus minutes of ice time in five of his appearances, he's functioned more as a top-six forward. The veteran center has added 19 shots on net, 17 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. Schenn maintains a decent shot volume and racks up hits, but he needs to display a little more consistency on offense.

Pierre-Olivier Joseph - Earns helper SaturdayJoseph logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
ImpactJoseph's first point as a Blue came on his brother's goal, as winger Mathieu Joseph tied the game at 1-1 midway through the second period. Through three appearances, the younger Joseph has an assist, five shots on net and three blocked shots while playing on the third pairing. The 25-year-old defenseman is not guaranteed a spot in the lineup once Nick Leddy (lower body) returns from his current injury.

Dylan Holloway - Scores first goal with new teamHolloway scored a goal, added four hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
ImpactHolloway's Blues career has gotten off to a slow start with two points through six games. He's played in a third-line role for much of that time, adding eight shot son net, 14 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. Holloway's physicality gives him some intrigue in fantasy, but he'll need to score more regularly to be an option in standard formats.
