Stenberg was recalled from AHL Springfield on Monday.
Stenberg will help cover for some of the Blues' injuries up front, as Dylan Holloway (ankle) joined a growing list of forwards on injured reserve Monday. The 20-year-old Stenberg was the No. 25 overall pick in 2023, and he has yet to make his NHL debut. The left-shot center has contributed three goals and eight points over 21 appearances with the Thunderbirds this season.

Rotowire
Hofer will patrol the home crease against Nashville on Monday, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.
Hofer is coming off a 27-save performance in Friday's 3-2 win over Chicago. He has a 5-6-2 record with two shutouts, a 3.10 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. Nashville ranks 26th in the league with 2.74 goals per game this campaign.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Lands on injured reserve
Rotowire
Holloway is dealing with a right ankle injury and has been placed on injured reserve Monday.
Holloway will be re-evaluated in six weeks, so there is no guarantee he will be ready to return right away from his ankle problem. In his 33 appearances this year, the 24-year-old forward managed just 17 points and was almost certainly not going to repeat his 63-point campaign from 2024-25. With Holloway on the shelf, new signing Robby Fabbri looks poised to step into a top-six role.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Set to miss approximately six weeks
Rotowire
The Blues announced Monday that Holloway (lower body) will miss approximately six weeks, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Holloway suffered an injury during Sunday's practice session, and the issue will force him to miss multiple weeks. The 24-year-old will presumably be sidelined until at least late January, but if he faces any setbacks in his recovery process, he could be held out through the Olympic break. Prior to sustaining his injury, Holloway had recorded eight goals, nine assists, 91 hits, 26 blocked shots and 11 PIM while averaging 17:52 of ice time over 33 appearances this year.

Blues' Alexei Toropchenko: Activated from IR
Rotowire
Toropchenko (leg) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
As expected, Toropchenko will be available to return from a seven-game absence against Nashville on Monday. He has produced one goal, two points, 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and 38 hits across 17 appearances this season.
Toropchenko (leg) is expected to return to the lineup Monday against the Predators, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Sunday.
Toropchenko told reporters he's "100 percent ready to go" as he recovers from a leg injury that has kept him out of the last seven games and landed him on injured reserve. The 26-year-old has one goal, one assist and 38 hits in 17 games with the Blues on the season. He'll likely slide back into a bottom-six winger spot should he return Monday.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Hurt during practice
Rotowire
Holloway (lower body) sustained an injury during Sunday's practice, and it's unclear if he will play against Nashville on Monday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Holloway still has to undergo an evaluation after being helped off the ice Sunday. He has produced eight goals, 17 points, 76 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and 91 hits across 33 appearances this season. Alexei Toropchenko (leg) expects to play versus the Predators on Monday and could replace Holloway in the lineup.

Blues' Tyler Tucker: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Rotowire
Tucker notched an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Tucker snapped a 19-game point drought when he set up Justin Faulk's second-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. The 25-year-old Tucker has been an occasional scratch this season, but he seems to have a bit more security in the lineup than Logan Mailloux and Matt Kessel. Tucker is at five points, 25 shots on net, 33 hits, 20 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 29 appearances in a bottom-four role.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Dishes pair of helpers
Rotowire
Thomas logged two assists in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Thomas has three goals and three helpers during a four-game point streak. The 26-year-old is up to 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) with 42 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 29 appearances this season. He continues to be a strong playmaker in a top-line role, but he's behind the pace he'd need to reach the 80-point mark for the third straight campaign.

Blues' Matt Luff: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Luff scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Luff has played in three of the Blues' last four games while filling in on the fourth line. His tally Friday was his first NHL point since the 2022-23 campaign with the Red Wings. The 28-year-old winger has added three shots on net, six hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. With multiple forwards out for the next two weeks at a minimum, Luff has a decent chance of staying on the NHL roster through the holiday break.

Blues' Logan Mailloux: Goal, fight in win
Rotowire
Mailloux scored a goal on two shots and added five PIM in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Mailloux had a busy first period, scoring at 3:41 of the frame before fighting Colton Dach later on. The 22-year-old Mailloux's tally was his first goal as a Blue. He's seen limited usage on the third pairing this season, picking up two points, 21 shots on net, 27 hits, 14 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-17 rating through 20 appearances.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Tallies in Friday's win
Rotowire
Faulk scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Faulk has a goal and two assists over his last four games. For the season, the 33-year-old defenseman has provided some all-around stability in a top-four role for the Blues. He's at seven goals, 16 points, 62 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 29 hits and a minus-4 rating over 33 appearances. Faulk has reached the 15-goal mark in four previous seasons, most recently when he potted 16 in 2021-22.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Earns win Friday
Rotowire
Hofer stopped 27 of 29 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Hofer is pushing his way into a larger share of the crease, as he's now won three of his last four starts. In that span, which covers six appearances, he's yielded just nine goals on 146 shots, good for a .938 save percentage. Overall, Hofer has a 5-6-2 record with a 3.10 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 17 appearances. He'll likely continue to share the crease with Jordan Binnington, but Hofer could be in line for more usage if he continues to put together strong outings.
Blues' Joel Hofer: Tending twine versus Blackhawks
Rotowire
Hofer will guard the home goal versus the Blackhawks on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Hofer will get the starting nod after making a relief appearance versus the Predators on Thursday. The 25-year-old has been gaining momentum in the crease amid Jordan Binnington's recent struggles. A strong showing from Hofer on Friday could help him carve out more playing time.

Blues' Robby Fabbri: Earns helper in season debut
Rotowire
Fabbri notched an assist, three hits and four PIM in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Predators.
Fabbri opened his second stint with the Blues with a helper. He signed a two-way deal Wednesday, and he'll be with the big club at least until some of the Blues' injured forwards return. Fabbri is likely to fill a bottom-six role.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Manages pair of assists
Rotowire
Broberg notched two assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Predators.
Broberg ended a five-game slump with the pair of helpers. The 24-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes, but he's struggled to put up offense in anything more than short bursts this year. He's at 12 points, 47 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 32 appearances, putting him behind the pace that yielded 29 points in 68 regular-season contests a year ago.

Blues' Hugh McGing: Nets first NHL goal
Rotowire
McGing scored a goal in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Predators.
It was his first NHL goal. The 27-year-old has joined the Blues to help cover for numerous injury absences among the team's forwards. McGing is likely to stay in a fourth-line role until some of the injured forwards return, so he's not going to be a strong source of offense for fantasy.
