Toropchenko produced an assist, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko set up Ryan Suter's third-period tally, which cut the Blues' deficit to one goal. After establishing himself with 21 points in 82 games last year, Toropchenko looks poised to hold onto a bottom-six role in 2024-25. He's picked up seven hits and five PIM over the first two games of the campaign, and while his offense is unlikely to move the needle, he can be an asset for fantasy managers in formats that reward his physical play.

Toropchenko recorded 14 goals and seven assists across 82 games during the 2023-24 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko played almost exclusively in the bottom six, but he was briefly promoted to the top six when the Blues' playoff hopes were in desperation mode. The 6-foot-6 forward is known for his defensive presence and physicality -- he dished out 165 hits -- but the scoring touch adds to his versatility. The 24-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract next season.

Toropchenko assisted on a first-period goal during Sunday's 4-1 win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko raised his career-high point total to 21 with Sunday's apple, and a career-high 14 of those points are goals. The 24-year-old Russian's continued growth leaves something to consider as fantasy managers look for depth production next year.

Toropchenko will skate on the second line and the second power-play unit in Monday's game versus the Oilers, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues' playoff hopes are slipping away, so now seems like the right time to see what Toropchenko can do in the top six. However, interim head coach Drew Bannister stated that Toropchenko earned the opportunity after excelling in a bottom-six role and defending well on the penalty kill. The 24-year-old has been impressive this year with 14 goals and six assists through 74 games despite averaging just 12:17 of ice time per contest.

Toropchenko scored a goal and dished out two hits across 10:57 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Getting pucks on net is the name of the game, and Toropchenko showed why when he fired a wrister from the blue line and it snuck by Cam Talbot's blocker. This was his fourth goal in seven games and his 13th goal of the season. The big-bodied winger has averaged 12:19 of ice time this season, so he's not a steady fantasy producer despite the recent surge.

Toropchenko recorded a goal and one hit in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

In a low-scoring affair, Toropchenko tipped one past Marc-Andre Fleury in the first period on only the third shot of the game. Toropchenko added a hit, one shot on net and a plus-1 rating in 9:30 of ice time. This was the 24-year old's first point in eight games. Limited ice time - he averages 12:22 on the season - remains the biggest hurdle for Toropchenko's fantasy value. Until his ice time increases, consistent point production is unlikely.

Toropchenko recorded a goal and four shots on net in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko dazzled with a between-the-legs move to get around Canadiens defenseman Jayden Struble before deking around former Blues goalie Jake Allen to open the scoring just 25 seconds into the game. The 24-year-old Toropchenko is skating on the fourth line and has managed eight goals and four assists through 51 games, but his two-way acumen has kept him in the lineup all season.

Toropchenko scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko snapped a 13-game point drought with his tally in the third period Wednesday. The 24-year-old winger has maintained a steady spot in the bottom six despite his slump, providing a bit of a physical edge for the Blues. He's at 11 points, 53 shots on net, 65 hits, 29 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 46 outings this season, so he's not popping up enough to justify a roster spot in most fantasy formats.

Toropchenko scored a goal and fired two shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko has averaged just 11:06 of ice time in December and has produced just two goals, an assist and 13 shots on net through 10 games. He adds a physical touch to the bottom six with 17 hits in that stretch, but it's not enough to vault himself onto the fantasy radar.

Toropchenko scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 OT road win against the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko helped the Blues start strong, scoring at 19:39 of the first period to give the visitors a lead on a goal assisted by Colton Parayko and Oskar Sundqvist. He was good for a plus-1 rating, two shots on goal and a blocked shot, making the most of his 8:38 of ice time in just 12 shifts on the fourth line. Toropchenko has managed three goals and four points in the past eight games.
