Clifford notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Playing against his first NHL club, Clifford was able to help out on Jake Neighbours' first tally in the second period. Clifford is little more than a rotational option for the Blues' bottom six -- he drew into the lineup with Brandon Saad (COVID-19 protocols) out Saturday. Expect little more than physicality in limited ice time when Clifford is on the gameday roster.

Clifford posted an assist and two shots on net in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Clifford didn't do much on offense with a career-low seven points in 50 regular-season contests this year. The 30-year-old forward works on the fourth line for the Blues, so opportunities to contribute on offense are likely to be few against a smothering Avalanche defense in the first round.

Clifford scored a goal on four shots and had two PIM in Wednesday's shootout loss to Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Finally, after going nearly three full months without a goal, Clifford was able to get off the schneid, redirecting a puck on the doorstep to tie the game at 2-2 at 5:29 of the third period. It was Clifford's first goal since Feb. 13, snapping a miserable 31-game dry spell. He has five points in 44 games in his first season with the Blues.

Clifford picked up a shorthanded assist in Friday's 2-1 shootout win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Clifford set up Tyler Bozak's tally at 6:22 of the third period while Zach Sanford was in the penalty box for goaltender interference. The 30-year-old Clifford ended a seven-game dry spell with his helper, which was also the first shorthanded point of his career. The fourth-liner has five points, 36 shots on net, 41 hits and 19 PIM through 28 appearances.

Clifford posted an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Clifford set up Dakota Joshua's second-period tally as the Blues got offense from all over the lineup Monday. The helper snapped a six-game point drought for Clifford. The tough winger has four points, 29 shots on net, 29 hits and 12 PIM through 20 contests this year.

Clifford scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Clifford tied the game at 1-1 with his tally at 5:46 of the first period. The 30-year-old Clifford is up to three goals, 12 shots on net, 22 hits and 12 PIM through 13 appearances. He usually plays in a bottom-six role with little fantasy appeal.

Clifford scored a goal and added five PIM in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
With the Blues leading 3-0 early in the first period, Clifford obliged Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf for a bout. Clifford added his tally in the third period, but couldn't find an assist for the Gordie Howe hat trick. The 30-year-old Clifford is up to two goals, seven PIM and nine hits through seven contests. He seems to have the edge for a fourth-line role over the likes of Mackenzie MacEachern and Jacob De La Rose, but that won't bring Clifford to fantasy relevance.

Clifford tallied a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
On his 30th birthday, Clifford provided his new team with an insurance tally at 6:46 of the third period to make it 3-1 at the time. He didn't see much ice time, skating only 8:10 in the contest. Clifford is expected to be a fourth-liner at best in 2020-21, which will likely make his appearances on the scoresheet infrequent.

Clifford signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Blues on Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perhaps the Blues missed Pat Maroon last year, as they're injecting some grit into the lineup in the form of Clifford. Over 69 games last season between the Kings and Maple Leafs, the 29-year-old racked up 133 hits, 68 PIM and 17 points. Clifford should be a fixture in the bottom six for the Blues in the upcoming season.

According to his agent Todd Reynolds, Clifford will be testing the free-agent market this summer, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toronto picked up Clifford at the trade deadline in a package deal that involved Jack Campbell, Trevor Moore and two third-round picks, but the Maple Leafs have already begun actively shedding salary in order to open up enough space to sign a top-four blueliner this offseason, and Clifford will undoubtedly be looking for a raise on the $1.6 million he's currently making annually, so it's not surprising to see he likely won't be re-signing with the Leafs. The 29-year-old winger picked up seven goals and 17 points in 69 games during the regular season.
