3 days agoSt. Louis Blues left wing Pavel Buchnevich (illness) was not at Tuesday's morning skate and is unlikely to play this evening against the Montreal Canadiens. Buchnevich was unable to play in the previous two contests and is expected to miss his third-straight game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Thursday evening when the Blues travel to Nashville to face the Predators. Through 10 games this month, Buchnevich has found the back of the net twice and added four helpers. Over his previous 14 contests, Buchnevich has tallied 13 points (three goals) with four of his coming on the power play. While Buchnevich remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Zachary Bolduc to continue to have a role in the St. Louis top-six.

6 days agoSt. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich (illness) will miss Saturday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks. Lou Korac of NHL.com reports that Buchnevich is battling an illness. Alexandre Texier will take his spot in the lineup, while Zack Bolduc gets a chance to ride on the first line. Bolduc has been hot lately, and the move to the top line will give him even more fantasy value. Since the start of March, Bolduc has registered five goals and seven points in nine games, firing 20 shots on goal. The 22-year-old boasts 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 60 games for his rookie season.

The French forward is far less skilled and has been limited to three points (one goal, two assists) in 12 outings. Brayden Schenn will replace Buchnevich on the top power-play unit.

4 months agoSt. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich exited Wednesday's 3-0 win over New Jersey with a lower-body injury. Buchnevich recorded an assist just nine seconds into the game but was limited to 8:54 of ice time. Blues head coach Jim Montgomery announced after the game that Buchnevich is currently considered day-to-day. The Russian forward has been slumping for most of the campaign but has enjoyed a productive spell recently and is riding a three-game point streak. He has amassed 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 24 games overall. Dylan Holloway replaced Buchnevich on the top line Wednesday and popped up with two goals.
