Toropchenko was recalled from his conditioning stint Sunday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko scored three points in five games with AHL Springfield. He hasn't dressed in an NHL game since Nov. 25.

Toropchenko was assigned to Springfield of the AHL on Tuesday for a conditioning assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko has appeared in 15 games with the Blues this season, recording one goal, 19 shots on net and 36 hits. He has averaged 10:25 of ice time.

Toropchenko scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko spoiled Jonathan Quick's shutout bid at 10:42 of the second period. That would be it for the Blues' offense in a lopsided loss. The goal was Toropchenko's first point in eight games this season, as he's mainly been limited to fourth-line minutes. The 23-year-old winger has added 22 hits, nine shots on net, two PIM and a minus-1 rating. He had two goals in 28 contests as a rookie last year, but he's expected to see more consistent playing time in 2022-23.

Toropchenko (shoulder) is expected to play Saturday, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

EDGE Analysis

This is a surprise as Toropchenko underwent shoulder surgery in June and hadn't been expected back before early December. He practiced on the fourth line Friday with Nathan Walker and Noel Acciari. The 23-year-old Toropchenko had two goals in 28 games with St. Louis last season.

Toropchenko was cleared for contact Wednesday, though he is not yet ready to resume game action, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

By all accounts, Toropchenko's return from offseason shoulder surgery has gone extremely well. He looks poised to return well ahead of his initial expected date in early December, and he could be back before the end of October at the rate he's going. The 23-year-old should be in contention for a fourth-line role once he rejoins the Blues' lineup.

Toropchenko (shoulder) skated with the Blues during practice Thursday but hasn't been cleared for contract, Tom Timmermann of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery. He was initially expected to be out until December, but it appears he's a little ahead of schedule. He'll still need to make sure his shoulder holds up once he's cleared for contact before he's able to make a case to join the Blues during the campaign.

Toropchenko had shoulder surgery and will be out until at least December, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old winger tallied two goals in 28 games as a rookie last season before chipping in two assists in 12 postseason appearances. Toropchenko should be expected to land on injured reserve once the season begins as he's going to miss roughly the first two months of the 2022-23 campaign. He should return to a bottom-six role once healthy.

Toropchenko posted an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko set up Justin Faulk's game-tying goal with 4:46 left in the third period. This was Toropchenko's first point in the second round and his second assist in 11 playoff contests overall. The 22-year-old winger has mainly been limited to fourth-line action, where he's added 22 hits, eight shots on net and a plus-2 rating, though it's encouraging to see him maintain his place in the lineup.

Toropchenko notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Wild in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko had been held off the scoresheet in 20 straight appearances. He rushed the net in the second period and generated a rebound for Tyler Bozak to bury on the Blues' third goal. In a fourth-line role, Toropchenko's picked up three shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-3 rating through six playoff contests, so he probably won't have the attention of many fantasy managers as the Blues face the Avalanche in the second round.

Toropchenko (undisclosed) will return to the lineup Saturday versus the Coyotes, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toropchenko will slot into a third-line role, while Brayden Schenn (upper body) exits the lineup. Toropchenko has just two goals with 60 hits and a minus-5 rating in 24 appearances, so his return shouldn't have much of an impact in fantasy.
