Toropchenko returns to Blues lineup | St. Louis Blues Forward Alexey Toropchenko will return to the Blues lineup on Monday in Pittsburgh after missing seven games due to injury.

OCTOBER 27 • NHL.COM

Returning to action Monday Toropchenko (upper body) will be available for Monday's game against the Penguins, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Toropchenko has missed the last seven games due to his injuries, but he'll return to action for Monday's home matchup, which will provide a boost for the Blues since Jake Neighbours (lower body) and Robert Thomas (upper body) have been ruled out. Toropchenko made 80 regular-season appearances for St. Louis last year, recording four goals, 14 assists, 223 hits, 53 blocked shots and 25 PIM while averaging 12:30 of ice time.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Toropchenko is still day-to-day and won't play Saturday in Detroit due to his upper- and lower-body injuries, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Impact Toropchenko is set to miss his seventh straight game. His next chance to return will come Monday in Pittsburgh. When Toropchenko is healthy, he'll probably serve in the bottom six.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Thursday Toropchenko, who is dealing with upper- and lower-body injuries, is slated to remain out of the lineup Thursday versus Utah, per Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact Toropchenko hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 9. When he's healthy, the 26-year-old will likely take a spot on the Blues' top six, and that would potentially push Alexandre Texier out of the lineup.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Still day-to-day Toropchenko remains day-to-day and won't play against the Kings on Tuesday because of upper and lower-body injuries, according to Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Impact Toropchenko has been practicing and appears to be close to returning to the lineup. However, he will miss his fifth straight game. Once Toropchenko is ready to play, he could replace Alexandre Texier in the lineup.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Toropchenko won't play against Dallas on Saturday due to upper and lower-body injuries, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Impact Toropchenko participated in Saturday's morning skate, but he will miss his fourth straight game. He has one shot on goal, one blocked shot and one hit in one appearance this season. Alexandre Texier has been playing on the fourth line due to Toropchenko's absence.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Toropchenko is still recovering from upper and lower-body injuries and won't play against Chicago on Wednesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Toropchenko remains day-to-day and will miss his third straight game. He didn't participate in Tuesday's practice. Once he's healthy, Toropchenko could replace Alexandre Texier in the lineup.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Monday Toropchenko, who is dealing with upper and lower-body injuries, won't be in the lineup Monday versus the Canucks, per Kevin Woodley of NHL.com.

Impact It remains to be seen if Toropchenko is close to a return, as it's unclear how he's progressing in his recovery. Alexandre Texier will remain in the lineup as a result of Toropchenko's absence. The 26-year-old Toropchenko's next chance to play will be at home Wednesday versus the Blackhawks.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Toropchenko won't be in the lineup against Calgary on Saturday because of upper and lower-body injuries, according to Chris Pinkert of the Blues' official site.

Impact Toropchenko had one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Minnesota. Consider him day-to-day for now. With Toropchenko unavailable to play, Alexandre Texier will likely draw into Saturday's lineup versus the Flames.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

In doubt Saturday Toropchenko is dealing with upper and lower-body injuries and is questionable to face the Flames on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact The Blues didn't offer much in the way of details other than to say Toropchenko was sore. At this point, given that the winger might be dealing with multiple injuries, it seems unlikely he'll be ready to face the Flames. Last season, the Russian notched four goals and 14 helpers in 80 regular-season tilts, missing the 20-point threshold for the second time in the last three years.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to return Toropchenko (undisclosed) is set to play in Saturday's preseason clash against Chicago.

Impact Toropchenko didn't participate in Thursday's exhibition game against the Senators due to the injury. The 26-year-old had four goals, 18 points, 25 PIM and 223 hits across 80 regular-season appearances with St. Louis last year.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Game Day: Blues to ice near-full lineup in preseason game vs. Ottawa Of the expected regulars, only Jake Neighbours and Alexey Toropchenko will not play on Thursday against the Senators.

OCTOBER 2 • STLTODAY.COM

Won't suit up Thursday Toropchenko (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's preseason game versus the Senators.

Impact Toropchenko's issue is reportedly just soreness, so he doesn't appear at risk of a long-term absence. However, the 26-year-old will be held out of the Blues' penultimate preseason game and can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's exhibition finale versus the Blackhawks.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Held out Wednesday Toropchenko was kept out of Wednesday's practice session with an undisclosed injury, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact According to Korac, Toropchenko was kept off the ice for soreness, so it certainly doesn't sound like a long-term issue. Over the last three seasons, the 26-year-old winger has reached the 20-point threshold just once, and he could struggle to do so in 2025-26 if he remains in a bottom-six role.
