Neighbours scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old banged home a rebound midway through the third period to tie the game at 2-2, but the Blues couldn't generate any further offense. Neighbours has tickled twine in back-to-back games and has six goals on the season through 20 games, but Tuesday's tally was his first of the year with the man advantage.

Neighbours scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours had the Blues' lone tally of the game, opening the scoring 6:05 into the first period. The winger had gone nine games without a goal, adding just two assists in that span. The 22-year-old is up to five goals, three helpers, 34 shots on net, 43 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 19 appearances. As long as he's in a top-six role, he should have opportunities to turn his offense around.

Neighbours recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours did a little bit of everything in a top-six role Thursday. The winger's scoring has dried up -- he's gone eight games without a goal and has just two assists in that span despite steady ice time. The 22-year-old is at four goals, three assists, 30 shots on net, 39 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 17 outings overall. Neighbours' physical play makes him an option in formats that reward that kind of production, but his offense hasn't taken a step forward from last year's 38-point breakout campaign.

Neighbours recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours snapped a four-game slump with his helper on a Colton Parayko tally in Thursday's contest. The 22-year-old Neighbours has been streaky so far in 2024-25, so fantasy managers will be hoping this assist starts a heater. The winger is at six points, 26 shots on net, 33 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 14 contests in a top-six role.

Neighbours scored a goal on three shots and logged one hit in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours was left unencumbered in the slot and one-timed a feed from behind the net from Brandon Saad to tie the game at two apiece early in the second period. The 22-year-old Neighbours has four goals in his last five outings, including each of the past two. The second-line winger leads St. Louis with four goals through nine appearances.

Neighbours scored a goal on three shots, logged five hits, added four PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours has earned all four of his points this season over his last four games. The winger is back to seeing top-six minutes after bouncing around the lineup a bit early on. He's contributed 17 shots on net, 23 hits, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating through eight appearances. Neighbours signed a two-year extension with the Blues on Tuesday, so the 22-year-old is a part of the team's plans going forward, though he still has time to grow his game and cash in down the line.

Neighbours inked a two-year, $7.5 million contract extension with St. Louis on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours was headed toward restricted free agency after the 2024-25 season but instead will extend his stay with the Blues for another two years. Through six games to open the season, the 22-year-old winger has garnered two goals on 12 shots, one assist and 15 hits while averaging 15:48 of ice time. Barring a significant drop in productivity, Neighbours should continue to fill a top-six role for the club heading into the rest of the campaign.

Neighbours recorded a goal, an assist, two penalty minutes, two shots and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours was limited to just six shots over his first four appearances of the season, but he's matched that tally in his last two outings, a span in which he's recorded two goals and one assist. The 22-year-old winger has scored goals in consecutive games, as he's off to a strong start in his bid to surpass last season's career-high totals of 27 goals and 38 points across 77 regular-season appearances.

Neighbours scored a goal on four shots, doled out four hits and added two PIM in Thursday's 1-0 overtime win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours had the game's only goal at 2:04 of overtime, which was a great time for him to earn his first point of the season. The 22-year-old winger has added 10 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-4 rating over five contests. Neighbours is in a position to succeed on the Blues' second line, but regression was expected after he shot 18.6 percent in a 27-goal, 38-point effort over 77 regular-season outings last year.

Neighbours (upper body) is at practice for the start of training camp Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours had a breakout campaign in 2023-24, scoring 27 goals and adding 11 assists in 77 regular-season contests. He missed the last five games of the season with his upper-body injury, but he is now healthy and ready for the start of the season. Neighbours is likely to begin the campaign on the top line and see plenty of power-play time, as he had eight goals and 14 points with the man-advantag last year.
