Toropchenko played 10:43 time-on-ice in Thursday's season-opening 5-0 blowout loss to the Minnesota Wild. The 26-year-old scored 18 points (4G / 14A) in 80 games last season. His status for Saturday's contest against the Calgary Flames is unclear.
Toropchenko was a fourth-round pick of the Blues in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and is currently in his fourth season with the club. Through 186 career games, the 25-year-old Toropchenko has 43 points (26G / 17A), 130 blocks, and 374 hits.
Toropchenko has not played the last two games due to a lower-body injury but will draw back into the Blues' lineup on Thursday. The 25-year-old has one point (0G / 1A) in five games this season. Zack Bolduc will draw out of the lineup as a healthy scratch.
Toropchenko missed practice on Sunday as he tended to a lower-body injury but isn't expected to miss any game action. Toropchenko has two points (0G / 2A), six shots, and eight penalty minutes in seven games.
Toropchenko had 10 goals, nine assists, 86 SOG, 12 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 69 games with St. Louis in 2022-23 and has signed a two-year, 2.5 million contract extension ($1,250,000 AAV). The 24-year-old towering right-winger was a fourth-round pick in 2017 (113th overall) by St.Louis and has 12 goals, 21 points and 129 SOG through 97 career NHL games.
Toropchenko has spent the last five games with Springfield (AHL) on a conditioning assignment having put up a goal, two assists and four PIMs in his short stint. He will return to the St. Louis Blues, where he had one goal, six PIMs and a -3 plus/minus in 15 games prior to the injury.
Toropchenko was expected to be out until December but is set to play in the Blues' season opener on Saturday. The 6-foot-6, 222 lbs. winger split his 2021-22 season between the AHL and NHL, collecting two goals in 28 games with the Blues.
Toropchenko was expected to be out until December after undergoing shoulder surgery, but he declared himself 100 percent on Friday. Head coach Craig Berube said a final decision on Toropchenko's status will be made before the game on Saturday.
Toropchenko will miss the start of the 2022-23 season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. Toropchenko will "probably be out until early December." Blues GM Doug Armstrong said that "it's one of those (injuries) where he could have potentially played with it and got injured again, then you're looking at a four- to five-month surgery." Toropchenko had two goals and two assists in 40 combined regular season and playoff games during his first NHL season.
Toropchenko suffered a foot injury while blocking a shot on Thursday and will not be available against the Wild. Dakota Joshua has been recalled from Springfield (AHL) and will replace him in the lineup.
Toropchenko made his NHL debut on December 14th in Dallas and has played in five games for the Blues this season. The 2017 fourth-round pick has spent most of the season in the AHL, where he has seven goals and five assists (12 points) in 32 games for Springfield.
Toropchenko was a fourth-round pick (No.113 overall) in 2017 and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday. Toropchenko has five goals and four assists (nine points) in 22 AHL games this season.
