Torey Krug - Exits Wednesday's game Krug (undisclosed) is undergoing evaluation for an injury and won't finish Wednesday's game versus the Blackhawks.
Impact Krug scored a goal and went plus-2 over 12:40 of ice time in the contest. With the Blues' playoff hopes thin, it wouldn't be surprising for Krug to get shut down for the season once the team is officially out of contention. If Krug can't play Friday versus the Hurricanes, Marco Scandella could enter the lineup.

Joel Hofer - Slated to start Wednesday Hofer is set to start at home Wednesday against the Blackhawks, per Lou Korac of NHL.com
Impact Hofer has a 13-12-1 record, 2.74 GAA and .913 save percentage in 28 appearances this season. He stopped 22 of 25 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose in his last start Saturday. Chicago ranks 32nd offensively with 2.18 goals per game, so this should be a very favorable matchup for Hofer.

Jake Neighbours - Still sidelined Neighbours (upper body) is still day-to-day and could return before the season is over, per Lou Korac.
Impact Neighbours has had an excellent season for St. Louis, recording 27 goals and 11 assists in 77 games played. The 22-year-old will look to return to action before the season ends and be slotted on the second line and a power play unit. He will be entering his fourth season in the league next year.

Justin Faulk - Deemed week-to-week Faulk (upper body) is considered week-to-week and likely won't play again during the regular season, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Faulk was injured in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks. St. Louis is five points behind Vegas for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. If the Blues get eliminated from playoff contention and Faulk doesn't play in the final four games of the regular season, he will conclude 2023-24 with two goals, 30 points, 132 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and 83 hits in 60 outings.

Blues host the Blackhawks after shootout win
The St. Louis Blues host the Chicago Blackhawks after the Blues took down the Anaheim Ducks 6-5 in a shootoutAPRIL 9 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scott Perunovich - Assists in consecutive games Perunovich notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact Perunovich helped out on a Pavel Buchnevich tally in the second period. With an assist in each of the last two games, Perunovich has bounced back well from beginning April as a healthy scratch for two contests. The 25-year-old defenseman has 17 points (all assists) with 33 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 50 appearances this season, playing mainly on the third pairing while also seeing power-play time.

Colton Parayko - Garners assist Sunday Parayko registered an assist and blocked four shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact Parayko has two helpers over his last eight outings. The 30-year-old defenseman assisted on Zachary Bolduc's goal just 11 seconds into Sunday's game. Parayko is up to 26 points, 150 shots on net, 109 hits, 205 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 78 appearances. He's been as steady as ever defensively, though his scoring production is low enough to put him on the fringe of fantasy relevance -- he carries more value in formats that reward physical play.

Torey Krug - Sends power-play assist Krug logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact Krug sat out Saturday's loss to the Sharks, but he was right back in a top-four role with power-play time Sunday. He has four helpers over his last five appearances. The 32-year-old is up to 38 points (13 on the power play) with 161 shots on net, 110 blocked shots, 64 hits and a minus-34 rating over 76 appearances this season. That's his most games played in any of the last six years.

Jordan Kyrou - Provides trio of helpers in win Kyrou notched three assists, including two on the power play, in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact This was Kyrou's first multi-point effort in seven games. The 25-year-old helped out on the Blues' last three goals, and he also had the lone tally in the shootout to secure the win. The 25-year-old is up to 63 points (20 on the power play), 239 shots on net and a minus-12 rating through 78 appearances this season. He's had a solid year, but he'll likely fall short of the 70-point mark for the first time in three campaigns.

Matthew Kessel - Nets first NHL goal Kessel scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact The goal snapped a six-game point drought for the 23-year-old defenseman, and it was his first NHL tally. Kessel impressed the Blues enough to earn a two-year contract extension in March, but he's still got room to grow. He's at five points, 23 shots on net, 61 blocked shots, 36 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 35 appearances this season.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Zack Bolduc - Strikes early in shootout win Bolduc scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact Bolduc scored just 11 seconds into the game. He has two tallies over his last five contests, but playing time is not guaranteed for the 21-year-old forward, who has often been given a bottom-six assignment. He's up to three goals, five points, 30 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 21 contests overall.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Pavel Buchnevich - Finds twine Sunday Buchnevich scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact Buchnevich's goal stretched the Blues' lead to 4-2 late in the second period. He has three goals and nine assists over his last 11 outings while maintaining a significant top-six role. The 28-year-old is up to 27 goals, 61 points, 200 shots on net, 48 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 76 contests overall. It's a strong year, but it's likely to be the worst of his three campaigns in St. Louis.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Brayden Schenn - Goal, assist in win Schenn scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact Schenn has four goals and a helper through four games in April after potting just two goals with eight assists over 25 games in February and March combined. The 32-year-old's play has improved, but it's likely to late to get the Blues into the playoffs. He's at 19 goals, 42 points (12 on the power play), 159 shots on net, 168 hits, 52 PIM and a minus-23 rating through 78 appearances in a top-six role.

Robert Thomas - Erupts for four points Thomas scored a power-play goal on five shots, distributed three assists and won 21 of 27 faceoffs in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact Thomas had one of his best games of the season Sunday, and the Blues needed every bit of his contributions. One of his three helpers also came on the power play. He snapped a nine-game goal drought and has earned eight points over his last six outings while seeing steady top-line usage. Thomas is up to 24 goals, 81 points, 163 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 78 appearances in what is officially a career year for the 24-year-old center.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Binnington - Wins ugly in Anaheim Binnington allowed five goals on 38 shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact Binnington let three leads slip away in this game, but he made all three stops in the shootout to get the win anyway. He's won four of his last six outings, but he's allowed 20 goals in that span, so he's hardly inspiring much confidence. The 30-year-old is at 28-20-4 with a 2.88 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 55 appearances this season. The Blues' fate is out of their hands at this point, but Binnington figures to see most of the starts until they're officially out of the playoff race. The Blues return home to face the Blackhawks on Wednesday.
