Kapanen posted six goals and 16 assists across 73 games during the 2023-24 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues claimed Kapanen off waivers during 2022-23. He immediately showed promise with eight goals and 14 points through the final 23 games last year, but his game never took off this season. The 27-year-old will be a free agent this summer, and it's unclear if he's in the plans moving forward for the rebuilding Blues.

Kapanen scored in the first period during Sunday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

The tally brings Kapanen to six goals and 22 points on the campaign. In a broader view, it remains disappointing that Kapanen never delivered on the promise he showed in flashes during his 20-goal, 40-point run in 2018-19. On the other hand, this is the fifth straight season in which he hasn't topped 11 goals, so fantasy managers weren't likely to be deeply invested in his production.

Kapanen tallied a goal and added two assists in Monday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Kapanen opened the scoring midway through the first period, burying a loose puck in the slot, before adding a pair of assists in the second on goals from Kevin Hayes and Brandon Saad. It's an unexpected outburst from the 27-year-old Kapanen -- he hadn't scored since Dec. 30, recording just four assists in his last 20 games. He now has 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) through 57 games this season while primarily working in a bottom-six role.

Kapanen earned an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Kapanen has two helpers between a pair of games following the NHL's All-Star break and a seven-game layoff due to a lower-body injury. The Blues obviously had everything working in the latest contest, and Kapanen likely needs to craft a lengthy point streak in order to be trusted in most fantasy leagues. Working in a middle-six role but often excluded from the power play, Kapanen has posted four goals, 11 assists and a minus-4 rating through 44 games.

Kapanen (lower body) is prepared to rejoin the lineup versus Buffalo on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kapanen will return following a seven-game absence due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the winger had managed just one goal in his last 28 outings while putting 40 shots on net and generating five helpers. The Finn hasn't reached the 20-goal threshold since 2018-19 when he was with Toronto and it looks like he'll miss that mark again this season.

Kapanen (lower body) may be available to return following the All-Star break, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Kapanen made some progress skating on his own during the Blues' recently completed road trip. He has 13 points, 65 shots on goal and 26 hits over 42 games this season. Kapanen, who is still on injured reserve, has been out since Jan. 15 due to a lower-body issue.

Kapanen (lower body) will be re-evaluated in four weeks, the Blues announced Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kapanen, who is on injured reserve, has four goals and 13 points in 42 games this season. Adam Gaudette was called up from AHL Springfield on Wednesday and might make his Blues debut during Kapanen's absence.

Kapanen (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Kapanen logged 15:47 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 loss to Philadelphia. He will miss at least the next two games after being placed on the IR list. Kapanen has four goals, 13 points and 65 shots on goal in 42 contests this campaign.

Kapanen registered an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Kapanen set up linemate Kevin Hayes' tally in the first period, tying the game at 1-1 just 1:05 after Brad Marchand opened the scoring for Boston. Playing on the third line hasn't done Kapanen many favors lately -- he has five points over 19 games since the start of January. His helper Saturday snapped a four-game drought. The winger is up to 13 points with 63 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-6 rating through 41 appearances this season.

Kapanen dished out two hits and blocked a shot across 17:19 of ice time in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

After posting a modest but respectable eight points through the first 18 games, Kapanen has produced just two points over the last 14 contests while failing to fire a shot on net in six of those outings. The 27-year-old is getting plenty of opportunities with a spot in the top six with occasional power-play time. However, he needs to at least start getting some shots on net before he's on the fantasy radar.
