Deals assist in overtime win Toropchenko produced an assist, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Toropchenko set up Ryan Suter's third-period tally, which cut the Blues' deficit to one goal. After establishing himself with 21 points in 82 games last year, Toropchenko looks poised to hold onto a bottom-six role in 2024-25. He's picked up seven hits and five PIM over the first two games of the campaign, and while his offense is unlikely to move the needle, he can be an asset for fantasy managers in formats that reward his physical play.

Tallies 14 goals in bottom-six role Toropchenko recorded 14 goals and seven assists across 82 games during the 2023-24 season.

Impact Toropchenko played almost exclusively in the bottom six, but he was briefly promoted to the top six when the Blues' playoff hopes were in desperation mode. The 6-foot-6 forward is known for his defensive presence and physicality -- he dished out 165 hits -- but the scoring touch adds to his versatility. The 24-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract next season.

Builds on career highs Toropchenko assisted on a first-period goal during Sunday's 4-1 win over Seattle.

Impact The 24-year-old built on career-best totals with Sunday's apple. Through 81 games, Toropchenko has 14 goals and 21 points, both career highs. He's only providing secondary scoring, but his continued growth leaves something to consider as fantasy managers look for depth production next year.

Opportunity knocks Toropchenko will skate on the second line and the second power-play unit in Monday's game versus the Oilers, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Blues' playoff hopes are slipping away, so now seems like the right time to see what Toropchenko can do in the top six. However, interim head coach Drew Bannister stated that Toropchenko earned the opportunity after excelling in a bottom-six role and defending well on the penalty kill. The 24-year-old has been impressive this year with 14 goals and six assists through 74 games despite averaging just 12:17 of ice time per contest.

APRIL 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lights lamp against Kings Toropchenko scored a goal and dished out two hits across 10:57 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Getting pucks on net is the name of the game, and Toropchenko showed why when he fired a wrister from the blue line and it snuck by Cam Talbot's blocker. This was his fourth goal in seven games and his 13th goal of the season. The big-bodied winger has averaged 12:19 of ice time this season, so he's not a steady fantasy producer despite the recent surge.

Opens scoring Toropchenko recorded a goal and one hit in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

Impact In a low-scoring affair, Toropchenko tipped one past Marc-Andre Fleury in the first period on only the third shot of the game. Toropchenko added a hit, one shot on net and a plus-1 rating in 9:30 of ice time. This was the 24-year old's first point in eight games. Limited ice time - he averages 12:22 on the season - remains the biggest hurdle for Toropchenko's fantasy value. Until his ice time increases, consistent point production is unlikely.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores immediately in blowout win Toropchenko recorded a goal and four shots on net in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Toropchenko dazzled with a between-the-legs move to get around Canadiens defenseman Jayden Struble before deking around former Blues goalie Jake Allen to open the scoring just 25 seconds into the game. The 24-year-old is skating on the fourth line and has managed eight goals and four assists through 51 games, but his two-way acumen has kept him in the lineup all season.

Impact Toropchenko snapped a 13-game point drought with his tally in the third period Wednesday. The 24-year-old winger has maintained a steady spot in the bottom six despite his slump, providing a bit of a physical edge for the Blues. He's at 11 points, 53 shots on net, 65 hits, 29 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 46 outings this season, so he's not popping up enough to justify a roster spot in most fantasy formats.

Scores in Thursday's win Toropchenko scored a goal and fired two shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Toropchenko has averaged just 11:06 of ice time in December and has produced just two goals, an assist and 13 shots on net through 10 games. He adds a physical touch to the bottom six with 17 hits in that stretch, but it's not enough to vault himself onto the fantasy radar.

Toropchenko has managed three goals and four points in the past eight games.

Impact Toropchenko has yet to find the back of the net this season and has managed just six shots through seven games -- not exactly the type of performance that will be encouraging to fantasy players. Still, in formats that utilize hits, the 24-year-old winger could offer decent value after dishing out 13 to open the campaign.

Impact Toropchenko is starting to get his offense going with two assists over his last three games. The 24-year-old winger has played in a bottom-six role this season, and it's not a great sign that he saw just 11:39 of ice time despite the Blues dressing only 11 forwards Thursday. He's at two helpers, six shots on net, nine hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating through six outings overall.

Impact Toropchenko marked his first point of the season when he set up Colton Parayko's game-winning goal in the second period. The 2017 fourth-round pick has played all four games for the Blues this year, averaging 13:37 of ice time. He'll likely stay in the bottom six this season, but he has a solid scoring touch, evidenced by 10 goals through 69 games last year.
