Saad (personal) will begin the season on the Injured/Non-Roster list.

Saad is expected to miss the Blues' first road trip of the season as he awaits the birth of his third child and has been placed on the Injured/Non-Roster list to begin 2024-25. The Blues will hope to have their veteran 31-year-old left-winger back soon after he finished 2023-24 fourth in team goals (26) and fifth in points (42).

Saad (personal) could miss the Blues' season-opening road trip.

Saad and his wife are expecting their third child right around the time of the Blues' first road trip of the season. In Monday's practice, he skated on the "fifth line," an indication that the Blues are preparing to be without the veteran winger when their season starts on October 8th. While Saad is out, Zack Bolduc is expected to skate in the top-6, and his strong preseason could make Saad more of a bottom-6 option this season.

Saad has missed the Blues' last four games due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup Thursday vs. Vancouver. The 30-year-old left-winger has 15 goals, seven assists, 86 SOG, and a -9 plus/minus through 46 games prior to the injury.

Saad (ankle) will return to the Blackhawks lineup on Saturday.

Saad has missed the last 12 games with an ankle injury but will play tonight in Toronto. Saad, who will replace Dylan Sikura in the lineup, could be back on the top line with Jonathan Toews. He has just 11 goals and eight assists (19 points) in 36 games this season.
