Impact McGing made his NHL debut Wednesday, failing to record a fantasy-relevant stat in 9:37 of ice time versus the Stars. The 24-year-old winger will have to wait until 2023-24 to get another look in the NHL.

Will back up Thursday Zherenko will be recalled from AHL Springfield to back up Jordan Binnington in Thursday's game versus the Stars, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Zherenko will likely continue to wait for his NHL debut, as Jordan Binnington will start the Blues' season finale. Joel Hofer will be reassigned to Springfield.

Gives up five again Hofer allowed five goals on 37 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
Impact Hofer was handed his first regulation loss of the season by the surging Stars, falling to 3-1-1 in six starts. He allowed five goals in his previous start as well but didn't wind up with a decision in that one. Hofer provided a spark for a while, but his last couple outings suggest the 22-year-old netminder may need more seasoning in the AHL. Jordan Binnington is expected to start St. Louis' season finale Thursday against these same Stars.

Two points in Wednesday's loss Thomas had a goal and a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
Impact Thomas helped out on a Jakub Vrana tally, then lit the lamp himself to tie the score at two apiece with 20 seconds left in the first period. It was all Stars after that, though. With one game left on the Blues' schedule, Thomas has 18 goals and 47 assists in 72 appearances.

Returning to AHL Hofer will be reassigned to AHL Springfield on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Hofer gave up five goals on 37 shots in a loss to the Stars on Wednesday, which will be his last NHL outing of the season. He went 3-1-1 in six appearances, allowing 17 goals in a solid but unremarkable showing this year. Hofer will likely have a chance to win the backup job in training camp next fall.

Nabs helper in loss Kyrou picked up an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
Impact The Blues wrap up their season Thursday, which is a rematch against the Stars, but this time it'll be a road clash. Kyrou has 37 goals and 36 assists, making it extremely likely that he'll finish with the team lead in goals and total points. Kyrou's minus-37 rating is a bit of an eyesore, but that stat generally holds minimal significance in fantasy hockey, and his 23 power-play points needs to be taken into consideration as well.

Not letting up at finish line Faulk recorded an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
Impact The Blues will not be in the playoffs, but Faulk's been playing like everything is on the line. He's popped off based on a four-game point streak comprised of a goal and five assists, and that's helped the veteran blueliner establish a new career high with 50 points (11 goals, 39 assists) through 81 contests. Faulk remains a fine complementary option to the league's elite cast of defensemen, and there's plenty of significance in the 112 hits and 138 blocked shots that he's racked up this season.

Slated to start Per Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Hofer was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, putting him on track to guard the home goal versus the Stars on Wednesday.
Impact Hofer has been pretty solid during his limited time in the NHL this season, going 3-0-1 while posting a respectable 2.79 GAA and .915 save percentage through five games. He'll try to secure his fourth win of the year in a home matchup with a red-hot Dallas team that's won four straight games.

Starting season finale Binnington will patrol the road crease during Thursday's season finale against Dallas, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Joel Hofer will get the nod for Wednesday's home game against the Stars with Binnington getting the start on the road in the second half of back-to-back contests versus Dallas on Thursday. Binnington wasn't great in his last appearance Saturday against the Wild, surrendering four goals on 29 shots en route to a 5-3 defeat. He'll attempt to end the season on a high note by shooting for a win in a road matchup with a Stars squad that's 21-10-9 at home this year.

Not expected to return this season Bortuzzo (upper body) is considered doubtful for St. Louis' last two games of the season, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact The Blues aren't going to make the playoffs, so Bortuzzo has almost certainly seen his last action in 2022-23. In the likely event that ends up being the case, he'll finish the campaign having picked up five points while averaging just 12:34 of ice time through 43 games.

Staying with Minnesota next season Snuggerud will return to the University of Minnesota for the 2023-24 season, Andy Strickland of Bally Sports Midwest reports Tuesday.
Impact Snuggerud put together a fantastic rookie campaign for the Gophers that ended with an overtime loss to Quinnipiac in the National Title game. In 40 games for the U of M this year, the 18-year-old Minneapolis native racked up 21 goals and 29 assists. Selected by St. Louis with the 23rd overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, Snuggerud could be in line to make the immediate jump to the NHL level if he builds upon his impressive rookie numbers next year.
