Lindstein was recalled from AHL Springfield on Friday.

Lindstein was sent down by the Blues last week, but he'll rejoin the NHL club to provide additional depth ahead of Saturday's game against the Red Wings. He made four appearances with the Blues earlier in the regular season, recording an assist, two blocked shots and a hit while averaging 14:33 of ice time.

Sandin-Pellikka was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.

Jacob Bernard-Docker was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move. Sandin-Pellikka has an assist in seven outings with Detroit in 2026-27.

Manson (ankle) is expected to miss the next eight weeks, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports Friday.

Manson has a goal, four points, two PIM, 28 hits and 17 blocks in 13 appearances with Colorado in 2026-27. He's been serving primarily in a third-pairing role. Noah Juulsen might play regularly during Manson's absence.

Engstrom notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Stars.

Engstrom stepped in for Mike Matheson (lower body), who was sidelined Thursday. The helper was Engstrom's first point across seven outings. He'll have steady playing time as long as Matheson is out, though Engstrom's part-time usage early in the season could eventually see him get sent to AHL Laval for more consistent ice time. He's earned five shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across seven appearances so far.

Pelech scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

This was Pelech's first goal of the season. The 32-year-old defenseman has added two assists, 17 shots on net, 13 hits, 24 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances. Pelech could be in line for increased defensive duties if Ryan Pulock (upper body) is forced to miss time with the injury he sustained Thursday. While Pelech has topped the 20-point mark four times in his career, his heavy playing style often leads to missed time, making him unreliable in most fantasy formats.

Parayko didn't practice Friday due to an upper-body injury but is considered probable for Saturday's game against the Red Wings, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Head coach Jim Montgomery called Parayko's absence from practice Friday a maintenance day related to an upper-body issue that forced him to briefly exit Thursday's game against the Bruins. Montgomery said that Parayko will "probably" be able to play against Detroit, but the Blues will wait to see whether he's ready Saturday morning. If Parayko is unavailable, Montgomery said that the team feels comfortable inserting Quinton Burns into the lineup for his NHL debut.

Karlsson scored a goal, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Karlsson continued his steady start to the season, which has seen him get on the scoresheet in 10 of 13 games. The veteran blueliner has a total of two goals, 11 assists, 21 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 13 appearances. Karlsson's early production is a positive sign that this won't be the year his numbers decline, so he should be a good contributor for his fantasy managers.

Sergachev scored a goal on two shots and blocked five shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Penguins.

Logan Cooley provided some heroics with a hat trick in regulation, but it was Sergachev who sealed the win for the Mammoth. This tally extended Sergachev's point streak to six games (two goals, five assists). He's been excellent over the first month of the season with four goals, 12 helpers, 34 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, eight hits, 15 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 14 appearances. Sergachev has never come particularly close to sustaining a point-per-game pace, but he could put together a career year if Utah's offense remains strong.

Mateychuk scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Mateychuk is on an impressive run for a young defenseman, scoring in three straight games. His offense was a little stagnant early in the campaign, but he's now at four goals, one assist, 23 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over 11 appearances. As long as he stays in the top four and on a power-play unit, Mateychuk should be productive enough to help as a depth blueliner in fantasy, though he also carries the upside of youth.

Parayko didn't participate in Friday's practice session after missing some time during Thursday's win over the Bruins due to an undisclosed injury, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

While Parayko ultimately finished Thursday's matchup, he was out for a portion of the first period due to an apparent injury. It's not yet clear whether his injury will impact his status for the Blues' upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Saturday in Detroit. If Parayko is forced to miss time, Quinton Burns is a candidate to see an increased role for St. Louis.
