Involved in minor-league swap Alexandrov was brought in by the Kings from the Blues on Tuesday in exchange for Akil Thomas.
Impact Alexandrov has been putting up decent numbers with AHL Springfield this season, notching 14 points in 18 minor-league contests. It's a slightly strange move when you consider both players are doing well in the minors -- Thomas has 13 points in 19 games -- and are 35-year-old centers who will be unrestricted free agents at the end of the season. Look for Thomas to link up with AHL Ontario for the start of his time in the organization.

Impact Alexandrov was unable to get to the NHL last year and looks ticketed for a similar minor-league role in 2025-26. He has nine points over 51 career NHL appearances. He put up 49 points in 48 regular-season outings for the Thunderbirds in 2024-25 and is off to a hot start with five points in three contests this year.

Headed for minors Alexandrov was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Tuesday.
Impact Alexandrov played in 23 regular-season contests for the Blues last year in which he notched two assists, 15 shots and 29 hits while averaging 8:32 of ice time. Even though the 24-year-old center won't be on the Opening Night roster, he should still earn the occasional call-up this year.

Inks one-year deal Alexandrov signed a one-year, two-way contract with St. Louis on Monday.
Impact Alexandrov was credited with two assists, 15 shots on goal and 29 hits in 23 regular-season outings with the Blues in 2023-24. He will probably begin the upcoming campaign as a depth forward for St. Louis.

Plays sparingly during 2023-24 Alexandrov recorded two assists across 23 games during the 2023-24 season.
Impact The Blues kept Alexandrov with the big club all season because they feared he would be claimed off waivers if they sent him to the AHL. The 2019 second-round pick barely played as a result, and he averaged just 8:32 of ice time when he was in the lineup. This isn't a great option for the youngster's development, but barring a trade, he'll likely stick with the Blues next season because he's a restricted free agent this summer.

Snags helper against Hawks Alexandrov registered an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Chicago.
Impact Alexandrov picked up his first point since Jan. 18 versus the Capitals, though that stretch did include a conditioning stint in the minors. The 23-year-old center has been limited to just 22 NHL games this year, recording two assists, 26 hits and 14 shots while averaging 8:25 of ice time. Alexandrov is far from a lock for the lineup heading into the final three regular-season contests and could be scratched in favor of Kevin Hayes.
APRIL 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled from conditioning loan Alexandrov was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Springfield on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Impact Alexandrov picked up two goals and seven points during his seven-game stay with Springfield. At this point it isn't clear when the 23-year-old German, who's gone scoreless through 10 top-level appearances this year, might crack the Blues' lineup.

Sent on conditioning assignment Alexandrov was loaned to AHL Springfield on a conditioning assignment Thursday.
Impact Alexandrov has been a healthy scratch for 10 straight games at the NHL level, so he'll head to the minors to get some much-needed playing time. He's been held scoreless through 10 appearances with the Blues this year.

Makes season debut Alexandrov recorded three hits and finished with a minus-1 rating in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact The 2019 second-round pick made his season debut after being a healthy scratch for the first two games. Alexandrov skated on the fourth line and finished with 10:53 of ice time. The Blues may need to make a decision with Alexandrov soon, as filtering in and out of the lineup isn't ideal for the 23-year-old's development. However, he would require waivers to go back to the AHL. Last season, the German winger piled up 19 goals and 19 assists through 41 AHL games.
