The Rangers have acquired Sammy Blais and a 2022 second-round pick from the Blues for Pavel Buchnevich.

Blais has been a fixture of the Blues' bottom-6 over the last three seasons and likely won't be able to expand on that role with the Rangers. He doesn't offer a lot of offence, posting a career-high of just 15 points (8G / 7A) in 36 games a season ago. The Rangers have plenty of capable top-9 forwards, so expect Blais to be a fourth-liner to start 2021-22.

The Blues signed Sammy Blais to a two-year contract extension worth $3.0 million ($1.5M AAV).

After splitting time between the NHL and AHL in the last two years, Blais was a full-time NHLer in 2019-20. He missed some time due to right wrist surgery in November but produced 13 points (6G / 7A) in the 40 games he appeared in before the league was paused. Blais was a physical force when in the lineup, leading the Blues with 155 hits (3.9 Hits/GP).

The Blues have activated Sammy Blais (wrist) from IR.

Blais has not played since November 19th and underwent surgery on his right wrist on the 21st. Activating him from IR suggests that the winger will make his return to the lineup on Tuesday. He had five goals and three assists (eight points) in 20 games before getting hurt.

Blais will undergo surgery on his right wrist and will miss at least 10 weeks.

Blais suffered the injury during the Blues' 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. Blais will be re-evaluated in 10 weeks, which means he could miss more than two and a half months. To replace Blais, the Blues announced that they've signed veteran Troy Brouwer to a one-year deal.

Blais (thumb) will return to the Blues lineup on Wednesday.

Blais missed Sunday's game in Detroit but is set to play tonight vs. the Wild. Blais will get a huge opportunity tonight as he lines up on the first line with Brayden Schenn and Jaden Schwartz, replacing Vladimir Tarasenko. Blais has three goals and two assists (five points) in 10 games this season. The 23-year-old provides even more value in banger leagues, averaging 2.6 hits per game.
