St Louis Blues News

Luff played five games with the Blues earlier this season, scoring one goal, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 28-year-old forward has 33 points (13G / 20A) in 33 games this season with the Springfield Thunderbirds (AHL).

Joseph will take a seat on Thursday to make way for return of Oskar Sundqvist (ankle). Joseph has two goals and nine assists in 38 games this season.

Sundqvist suffered a scary injury nearly two weeks ago, a cut that narrowly missed his Achilles, which would have likely ended his season. The 31-year-old Sundqvist has missed several games, but will return on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. He is averaging 13:20 time-on-ice and has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 39 games this season.

Already without top-six forwards Robert Thomas (lower body) and Dylan Holloway (ankle), the Blues' injury woes worsened in Tuesday's game against the Dallas Stars, with Jordan Kyrou (upper body) and Jake Neighbours (lower body) both exiting the game early. Luckily for the Blues, both Kyrou and Neighbours are healthy enough to return on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. The 23-year-old Neighbours has 21 points (12G / 9A) in 41 games this season, but has struggled lately, with only one assist in his last five outings.

Luckily for the Blues, both Kyrou and Neighbours are healthy enough to return on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. The 27-year-old Kyrou has had a disappointing season, with only 24 points (11G / 13A) through 43 games. Over his previous four seasons, Kyrou was nearly a point-per-game player, with 285 points in 317 games (0.9 PTS/GP).

McGing had two points (1G / 1A) in three games with the Blues earlier this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 27-year-old forward has 12 points (4G / 8A) in 35 games with the Springfield Thunderbirds (AHL).

Holloway was considered day-to-day, but was placed on Injured Reserve shortly after having an MRI on his ankle sprain, leaving some confusion about when he might return to the lineup. It is an unfortunate development for the 24-year-old, who had just returned from a 15-game absence several days before this injury. In 34 games played this season, Holloway has eight goals and 17 points while being a -13 plus/minus.

Hofer has lost two straight (0-1-1), allowing six goals on 43 combined shots (.860 SV%), but has still unquestionably been the most reliable goalie for the Blues in recent weeks. The 25-year-old Hofer has an impressive 2.17 GAA and .922 SV% in his last 17 games (9-7-1). The Blues enter the action on Thursday as +142 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers team whose three-game winning streak was snapped on Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to the Utah Mammoth.

The 23-year-old Neighbours has 21 points (12G / 9A) in 41 games this season, but has struggled lately, with only one assist in his last five outings.
