Hofer will guard the road goal versus the Mammoth on Thursday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
Hofer will look to end the season on a high note. He's won four of his last five games, allowing just 13 goals on 157 shots (.917 save percentage) in that span. The Mammoth's lineup hasn't been confirmed yet, but since they're locked into a first-round matchup versus the Golden Knights, they could rotate players out for rest. That would make things a little easier on Hofer if it ends up happening that way.

Blues' Akil Thomas: Gets two goals for Springfield
Rotowire
Thomas scored twice in AHL Springfield's 7-1 win over Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
Thomas has struggled since his December trade to the Blues' organization. He has just seven points over 18 outings for the Thunderbirds, giving him a total of 20 points in 37 AHL appearances this season. He's picked up the pace a bit with six points over his seven contests.
Koromyslov penned a two-year, entry-level contract with St. Louis on Wednesday.
Koromyslov had one goal and 16 helpers in 61 regular-season games for Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL in 2025-26. He added one point in five playoff contests. The 22-year-old defenseman should make the jump to North America ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, but he will likely play the bulk of his minutes in the minors.
Neighbours notched two assists and two hits in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Penguins.
Neighbours has four points over his last three games. His pair of helpers Tuesday came during the Blues' second-period rally, which helped them wipe out a 4-1 deficit. Neighbours is up to 36 points, 84 shots on net, 149 hits, 43 PIM and a minus-5 rating across 68 appearances this season.

Rotowire

The 26-year-old had a hand in goals by Jimmy Snuggerud and Dylan Holloway in this contest. Thomas has done fairly well this season despite being limited by a few injuries throughout the campaign. He reached the 60-point mark Tuesday, a level he's achieved in five straight campaigns. He has 22 goals, 38 assists, 99 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating over 63 appearances.

Rotowire
Sundqvist scored a goal and added four hits in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Penguins.
Sundqvist was back in the lineup for just the third time over eight games in April. The 32-year-old has a point in each of his last two outings despite the lack of playing time. He's at 17 points, 37 shots on net, 69 hits, 26 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 52 appearances, mainly in a fourth-line role.

Blues' Logan Mailloux: One of each Tuesday
Rotowire
Mailloux scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Penguins.
Mailloux got the Blues back within a goal in the middle of the second period, and he also helped out on Dylan Holloway's empty-netter in the third. The goal was Mailloux's first since March 4 versus the Kraken. While the offense was only sporadic, Mailloux regularly played in a top-four role after the Olympic break, earning nine points and a plus-10 rating over his last 24 appearances. He's up to five goals, nine assists, 83 shots on net, 92 hits, 56 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 67 contests this season.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Two goals, assist in win
Rotowire
Holloway scored twice on five shots, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Penguins.
Holloway has earned seven goals and 10 assists over his last 11 contests to finish the year strong. He's up to 22 goals, 49 points, 160 shots on net, 127 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 58 appearances. Holloway's slow start and a lengthy battle with an ankle issue put a dent in his overall numbers, but his strong finish shows his potential as a power forward and multi-category contributor in 2026-27.

Blues' Jimmy Snuggerud: Pops off with four points
Rotowire
Snuggerud scored twice on three shots, added two assists, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Penguins.
Snuggerud has made his presence felt with four goals and seven assists over his last six games. His second goal Tuesday came on the power play, his first contribution with the man advantage since March 8 versus the Ducks. The 21-year-old rookie didn't always stand out in 2025-26, but he's now at 21 goals, 50 points, 167 shots on net, 71 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 69 appearances. Assuming he's in line to get top-six minutes next year, he'll be a popular pick in fantasy drafts in the fall.

Blues' Jordan Binnington: Ugly showing in win
Rotowire
Binnington stopped 18 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Penguins.
A heavily rotated Penguins lineup still managed to make some noise in this contest, leaving Binnington with an ugly line. This was the first time since before the Olympic break that he allowed more than three goals. The 32-year-old netminder is at a 13-20-7 record with a 3.33 GAA and an .873 save percentage over 41 outings this season, but he made significant progress later in the campaign. The Blues' last game is Thursday in Utah.
Blues' Jordan Binnington: Getting start in home finale
Rotowire
Binnington will guard the home goal versus the Penguins on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Binnington is handling the second half of a back-to-back against a Penguins team making significant lineup changes for rest. The 32-year-old goalie is 4-2-1 with just 13 goals allowed on 161 shots (.919 save percentage) over his last seven games, but he has slipped to second on the depth chart since Joel Hofer has played well down the stretch. The Blues play once more after Tuesday, when they visit the Mammoth on Thursday.
Drouin picked up an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.
Drouin has failed to make much of an impact since he was acquired from the Islanders in the Brayden Schenn deal. Through eight outings with the Blues, Drouin has two points and 10 shots on net while filling a middle-six role, but he's also been out of the lineup 10 times since his St. Louis debut. Overall, the 31-year-old has just 23 points, 83 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 63 outings this season. That suggests his success from the previous two years had more to do with the winning environment he was in with the Avalanche rather than anything Drouin was individually accomplishing.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Scores again Monday
Rotowire
Parayko scored a goal, added seven PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.
Parayko's offense has come on strong late in the season with three goals and an assist over his last six games. It's too little and too late to help the Blues now, but it's an encouraging sign after he failed to score before February. The defenseman has four goals, 18 points, 102 shots on net, 169 blocked shots, 94 hits and a minus-6 rating over 75 appearances in a top-four role.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Adds insurance goal
Rotowire
Neighbours scored a goal, added two PIM and logged five hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.
Neighbours ended a 23-game goal drought with an insurance tally early in the third period. He picked up eight assists during that slump, including seven of them over the previous eight contests. For the season, the 24-year-old winger is at 15 goals, 34 points, 83 shots on net, 147 hits, 34 blocked shots and 43 PIM across 67 outings, a step back after consecutive 20-goal campaigns.
