Cooley stopped 36 of 39 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

Cooley made his first Battle of Alberta appearance and protected a 4-3 lead that Ryan Lomberg's goal created at 6:44 of the third period. The 28-year-old Cooley has gone 3-2-1 over his last six outings, allowing just 12 goals in that span. For the season, he's up to 7-6-3 with a 2.27 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 19 appearances. Cooley is still the backup to Dustin Wolf, but the duo has found some success alternating starts in recent weeks. It remains to be seen if that pattern will continue after the Olympic break.

Faulk logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Faulk has eight helpers over his last eight games. The veteran defenseman is up to a total of 30 points (11 goals, 19 helpers), 110 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-3 rating through 57 appearances. He's been the Blues' most reliable defenseman this season and is two points away from matching his total from 78 regular-season outings in 2024-25.

Toropchenko scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Toropchenko ended a 12-game point drought with the third-period tally, which tied the contest at 4-4. The 26-year-old forward has remained a regular on the fourth line despite his slump. He's up to three goals, seven points, 42 shots on net, 89 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 41 appearances. While he's on pace for his worst full campaign, the Blues decided to keep him around with a two-year contract extension that he signed in January.

Buchnevich scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Buchnevich picked up the pace recently with four goals and five assists over his last seven games. Five of those nine points have come on the power play. The 30-year-old forward is up to 12 goals, 34 points (13 on the power play), 107 shots on net and a minus-15 rating across 57 outings, primarily in a top-six role.

Snuggerud scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Snuggerud picked up both points in the third period to help the Blues tie the game at 4-4 before Jamie Benn delivered a heartbreaker in the final minute. This performance extended Snuggerud's point streak to six games (three goals, six assists). The 21-year-old winger is looking more comfortable in a top-line role. He's now at 10 goals, 24 points, 95 shots on net, 49 hits, 28 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 45 appearances this season.

Kyrou scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

This was Kyrou's fourth multi-point effort in the last six games. In that span, he's earned four goals and six assists. The 27-year-old winger is up to a total of 13 goals, 32 points (11 on the power play), 123 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 47 appearances. He's had better years, but it looks like he's turning things around, and he should continue to see steady top-six minutes.

Binnington stopped 23 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Binnington nearly got this game to overtime, but Jamie Benn tallied with 23 seconds left in the third period to break the Blues' hearts. This was Binnington's seventh straight regulation loss, and he's allowed at least four goals in five of those defeats. The Team Canada goalie has an 8-17-6 record with a 3.65 GAA and an .864 save percentage over 32 appearances this season. It's unclear if he'll get much playing time at the Olympics, but if he does, he should benefit from having a much stronger team in front of him. That could be the spark Binnington needs to get his NHL season back on track after the break.

Heiskanen logged two assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

Heiskanen will go to the Olympics with momentum. He has 10 helpers, 18 shots on net and 13 blocked shots over his last eight outings. The defenseman is up to a total of 46 points (18 on the power play), 111 shots on net, 102 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating in 55 appearances. As long as he stays healthy, he's in position to reach the 60-point mark for just the second time in his career.

Bouque scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

Bourque has three goals and an assist in his last four games. The 24-year-old has found a regular top-six role, which is helping him contribute more consistently. For the season, he's up to 11 goals, matching his 73-game total from the 2024-25 regular season. He has also added 11 assists, 94 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-2 rating across 57 appearances.

Duchene scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

Duchene extended his point streak to six games, a span in which he's earned six goals and three helpers. The 35-year-old was fairly inconsistent prior to this stretch, and he'll look to keep the momentum going after the Olympics. For the season, the veteran center is at 10 goals, 20 points, 50 shots on net and a minus-3 rating across 32 appearances.
