Bouwmeester recorded an assist, a blocked shot and a hit across 22:52 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Bouwmeester is deployed in a defensive role, as he has started just 42.1 percent of shifts in the offensive zone this season. As a result, the 36-year-old carried a 24-game pointless drought into this contest, but he shook off the slump with a secondary assist on Ryan O'Reilly's score. He has seven points through 53 games and can be safely kept out of mind in the fantasy realm.

Bouwmeester hasn't posted a point in 21 straight games.
EDGE Analysis
Bouwmeester starts 57.8 percent of his shifts in the defensive zone -- the highest among Blues' defensemen -- so it isn't surprising that he's not inking the scoresheet. The 36-year-old is a skilled stay-at-home blueliner, however, and he works on the 13th-ranked penalty kill (81.7 percent). He isn't the concern of fantasy gamers, though.

Bouwmeester recorded two shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Bouwmeester has gone 13 straight games without a point, but he's averaging 21:03 per game in that stretch. His fantasy upside remains low with just 44.2 percent of his shifts starting in the offensive zone, but his real-life value to the Blues' defensive zone keeps him as a staple in the lineup.

Bouwmeester picked up an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
After a 13-game dry spell, Bouwmeester has found his way on the scoresheet in the last two contests. The 36-year-old defenseman has only five points in 27 outings this season. He's added 36 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating, playing a more defensively oriented style.

Bouwmeester registered his third assist of the 2019-20 season in a 4-3 win over the Lightning on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouwmeester picked up the secondary assist on Oscar Sundqvist's shorthanded goal in the second period, ending a 13-game pointless drought. It was just the defenseman's fourth point of the season, over 26 appearances. Bouwmeester is relevant only in deeper leagues, otherwise carrying minimal value in regular and DFS formats.

Bouwmeester skated in his 1,200th NHL game in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win against the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The Panthers selected Bouwmeester third overall in the 2002 NHL Draft, and he made a stop in Calgary before landing in St. Louis. He becomes the 111th NHL player to achieve the feat, and he has 88 goals and 418 points to show for it. He's also played 75 postseason games, including 26 during last year's Stanley Cup run.

Bouwmeester is averaging 21:32 TOI and has two points in six games.
EDGE Analysis
Bouwmeester is paired with Colton Parayko, and head coach Craig Berube counts on the two to lock down opponents' top units. He's done well so far with an even plus-minus rating, seven hits and 10 blocked shots over six games. Bouwmeester's fantasy value is still negligible, though, as he hasn't surpassed 20 points since the 2013-14 season.

Bouwmeester produced an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Bruins in Game 7.
EDGE Analysis
Bouwmeester supplied seven helpers and a plus-9 rating in 26 games during the postseason. The 35-year-old didn't feature in the playoffs in his first 10 NHL seasons, but is now part of a Stanley Cup-winning team in his 16th campaign.

Bouwmeester notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Bouwmeester was the only Blues skater outside of the top line to register a point. The 35-year-old defenseman has six assists in 20 games in the postseason, but hadn't made his way onto the scoresheet in his previous 10 appearances.

Bouwmeester notched two assists during Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 3 of their Western Conference second-round series.
EDGE Analysis
He recorded the primary helper on each of the Blues' two third-period goals, including Patrick Maroon's game-winner with 98 seconds left on the clock. Bouwmeester now has five points, all assists, in nine games so far this postseason.
