Overview
- The Blues activated Logan Mailloux from injured reserve and plan to slot him on the top defensive pairing with Philip Broberg, a move announced in team reports and covered by multiple outlets.
- Calle Rosén was recalled from AHL Springfield to serve as extra veteran depth and the expected seventh defenseman on the NHL roster.
- As part of the roster changes, top defensive prospects Adam Jiricek and Theo Lindstein were reassigned to Springfield to preserve their ice time and development.
- Mailloux missed six weeks after fracturing his right hand in a preseason fight with Chicago’s Cole Smith and undergoing surgery before returning to game readiness.
- The club made the moves to address a recent slide in defensive play that included allowing about 3.1 goals per game and a high volume of opponent shots, and the team will use November home dates to try to regain form.
