Philip Broberg - Adds helper Friday Broberg notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Broberg has a goal, two assists, five shots on net and a plus-2 rating over three contests to begin the season. It's taken little time for Broberg to settle into a top-four role with the Blues -- he's averaged 19:27 of ice time per game. The 23-year-old blueliner entered this season with a total of 13 points over 81 appearances, but he's well on his way to enjoying a breakout campaign.

Colton Parayko - Helpers in back-to-back games Parayko produced an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Parayko has an assist in each of his last two games. The defenseman helped out on a Robert Thomas tally in the third period. Parayko is seeing steady top-four minutes to begin 2024-25, and in addition to his pair of helpers, he's logged nine shots on net, three hits and nine blocked shots. His steady contributions in the non-scoring areas give him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Justin Faulk - Contributes helper in loss Faulk notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Faulk has a goal and three assists, including two power-play helpers, over the first three games of the season. The defenseman led all Blues skaters with 25:53 of ice time in this contest, and that may be a regular thing since he's displayed the most scoring upside from the blue line this season. The veteran defenseman has added five blocked shots, three hits and four shots on net.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Kyrou - Generates pair of assists Kyrou recorded two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Kyrou has rattled off three straight multi-point efforts to open 2024-25. He set up both of Pavel Buchnevich's tallies in this contest, including one on the power play. Kyrou is up to two goals, four assists, a plus-4 rating and four shots on net through three appearances. His chemistry on the second line with Buchnevich has made both forwards reliable scorers in fantasy.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Robert Thomas - Scores in Friday's loss Thomas scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Thomas scored with 4:56 left in regulation, but the Blues weren't able to tie the game. The 25-year-old has found the scoresheet in all three contests this season, picking up a goal, three assists and five shots on net. He continues to center the Blues' top line, and after putting up 26 goals and 60 assists in 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24, Thomas has plenty of fantasy upside.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Pavel Buchnevich - In on all three goals in loss Buchnevich scored twice on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Buchnevich had a point in each period, including a power-play tally in the second frame. He's up to three goals, one assist, nine shots on net and a plus-5 rating through three contests. Buchnevich is among the most talented forwards on the Blues' roster, and he's played at a point-per-game pace in two of the last three years, so this burst of offense to begin the year isn't too surprising. Fantasy managers can have him in their lineups with confidence.

Jordan Binnington - Falters in Vegas Binnington allowed four goals on 28 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact The Blues didn't have a third straight multi-goal comeback in store Friday, leaving Binnington to drop to 1-1-0 through two starts. The 31-year-old was beat twice by the Golden Knights' top line in the first period, and Shea Theodore and Nicolas Roy had the other tallies. With six goals allowed on 60 shots, Binnington is playing at an acceptable level for early in the season. The Blues' home opener is Tuesday versus the Wild, and it's likely the Ontario native will be between the pipes for that contest.

Jordan Binnington - In goal Friday Binnington will be between the pipes in Friday's road game versus the Golden Knights, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Binnington won his season debut Tuesday in Seattle, stopping 30 of 32 shots. The 31-year-old is poised to remain the Blues' No. 1 goalie throughout 2024-25, though he could be pushed for playing time by backup Joel Hofer, who won in overtime Thursday over the Sharks.

Alexandre Texier - Won't play Friday Texier (upper body) won't play in Friday's game versus the Golden Knights, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Texier will miss his second straight game with the injury. Zachary Bolduc will stay in the lineup in Texier's usual spot on the second line. Texier's next chance to play is Tuesday at home versus the Wild. Considering the 25-year-old was deemed questionable for Friday's game, he may not be out much longer.
