Bjugstad scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad has a goal in each of the two games he's played since returning from a month-long absence due to an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old has reclaimed a bottom-six role and should be a regular in the Blues' lineup moving forward. He's at seven points, 43 shots on net, 54 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 27 appearances this season.

Bjugstad scored a shorthanded game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center opened the scoring early in the second period, picking the top corner over Brandon Bussi's glove from the faceoff dot, and it would be all the offensive support Joel Hofer would need. Bjugstad was returning from a 15-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and both the shortie and the GWG were his first of the season. Through 26 contests in 2025-26, Bjugstad has five goals but only six points with 53 hits, 42 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-3 rating.

Bjugstad (upper body) was taken off injured reserve and will face the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad will return to the lineup following a 15-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Before getting hurt, the veteran forward was struggling to produce offensively, going 10 games without producing a point while only adding 13 shots. Even with his injury woes behind him, Bjugstad's lack of production could see him serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Bjugstad (upper body) was shifted to injured reserve Tuesday, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad's move to IR comes on the heels of the Blues claiming Jonatan Berggren off waivers Tuesday, as the team needed to free up a roster spot. Bjugstad has already missed three straight games, so he's eligible to return to the lineup at any time. The 33-year-old forward has garnered four goals, five points, 52 hits and a minus-4 rating over 25 games this year.

Bjugstad (upper body) will be out of action for the next five days, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Wednesday, which means he will be out for the Blues' next three games.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad was injured against Boston on Tuesday and will now be facing about a week out of the lineup. In Bjugstad's stead, the team signed Robby Fabbri to a two-way contract and will insert him into the lineup versus the Predators on Thursday. For his part, Bjugstad has struggled offensively this year with just five points in 25 appearances. Don't be surprised to see Bjugstad land on injured reserve, given his recovery timeline.

Bjugstad (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad was injured in the second period. He logged two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in 7:31 of ice time prior to his exit. If he misses time beyond Tuesday, Hugh McGing would likely get into the lineup for a Blues team that is suddenly getting thin up front due to injuries.

Bjugstad scored a goal Thursday in a 3-0 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad took a pass from Justin Faulk in the neutral zone, lumbered to the top of the left circle and beat Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen far side. It pushed the score to 2-0 early in the second period. Bjugstad has four goals, one assist and 26 shots in 15 games this season.

Bjugstad scored a goal and took seven shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad was one of the Blues' most dangerous players from a shooting perspective, and he was rewarded after scoring the team's second goal at the 9:48 mark of the third period. This was his third goal of the season, but the playmaker, who often operates as a bottom-six forward, doesn't produce enough to warrant consideration in most formats.

Bjugstad scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad ended a five-game slump with this performance. The 33-year-old has slotted onto the Blues' fourth line, and while he's played in all nine contests so far, he has just three points to show for it. The veteran center has added seven shots on net, 22 hits, eight blocked shots and six PIM. Expect most of his production to come in the non-scoring areas.

Bjugstad scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Bjugstad has settled as the Blues' fourth-line center, a role he'll likely keep at least until Oskar Sundqvist (lower body) is healthy. Through three contests, Bjugstad has a goal, four shots on net, five hits and two blocked shots. The 33-year-old had a 45-point campaign with the Coyotes in 2023-24, but that's the only time in the last seven years he's reached even 30 points in a season.
