The Blues sent forward Matt Luff and defenseman Corey Schueneman to AHL affiliate Springfield (Massachusetts) on Monday morning, leaving 31 players at training camp in 最新杏吧原创.

Luff and Schueneman were waived Sunday, then cleared waivers Monday prior to being sent to Springfield. They joined the 18 players who were assigned there Sunday.

The Blues are watching Dalibor Dvorsky grow, and that could mean more beyond training camp.

Dvorsky, the team鈥檚 first-round pick in 2023, is entering his second season of professional hockey in North America and came into training camp with an outside shot at cracking the opening night roster in the NHL. During Saturday鈥檚 4-2 exhibition loss to the Blackhawks, Dvorsky submitted his strongest effort of the preseason, including scoring a first-period goal.

First-round picks Adam Jiricek and Justin Carbonneau were among the 20 players cut from the Blues鈥� training camp roster on Sunday afternoon as the group was trimmed to 33 players.

The Blues reassigned Carbonneau to his junior team in the QMJHL, where he will remain until his season with Blainville-Boisbriand ends in the spring. Carbonneau was the team鈥檚 first-round pick this year, and had a goal and an assist in three preseason games with the Blues.

Multiple times now, Cam Fowler has chosen 最新杏吧原创.

When he accepted a trade to the Blues last December, he waived his no-trade clause to come to 最新杏吧原创. Now, after signing a three-year contract extension worth $6.1 million annually, Fowler has picked 最新杏吧原创 once again.

Baseball is steeped in tradition, but hockey has the best traditions.

Every playoff series ends with a handshake line. Right before a rookie鈥檚 first game, he skates out alone for warmups, followed momentarily by the rest of his new team. Upon winning the title, each player and staff member from the champions gets a day at home with the Stanley Cup. And hockey has playoff beards, stick taps and hats tossed on the ice if a fellow scores a third goal in a game.

The Blues are still looking for their first preseason win of the fall after a 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday night at Enterprise Center.

Oliver Moore scored with 3:01 remaining in the third period, moments after Colton Dach leveled Oskar Sundqvist in the neutral zone with a knee-on-knee hit. As players convened at center ice, Moore carried the puck into the Blues zone and beat Will Cranley for the game-winning goal.

The Blues handled a big piece of their upcoming business by agreeing to terms with defenseman Cam Fowler on a three-year extension with a $6.1 million average annual value.

Fowler, 33, was set to be an unrestricted free agent after this season, but will instead be under contract in 最新杏吧原创 through the 2028-29 season. Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said he spoke with Fowler's agent, Pat Brisson, over the summer about approaching extension talks during training camp.

The only constant this preseason for the Blues has been Justin Carbonneau.

The 2025 first-round pick is the only Blue to play in every exhibition game so far. Carbonneau also played two games during the Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase before camp.

The road to a good start for the Blues is paved by special teams.

So it makes sense that, with less than two weeks remaining until the regular season opener against Minnesota, the Blues began their power play work during practice on Friday. The club first started prepping their penalty kill during Tuesday鈥檚 practice.

It was a shock to Blues television broadcaster John Kelly, and enraged many of the team鈥檚 fans, when he was ousted over the summer after nearly a quarter century on the job across two stints, that last covering two decades.

Adding to the fan outcry are the deep ties between the Kelly family and the club. John鈥檚 father, Dan, was a legendary Blues and NHL broadcaster; his uncle Hal called some games and so did his brother Dan.
