Buchnevich (illness) is expected to join the Blues in Nashville on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Buchnevich linking up with the team during its road trip is certainly a step in the right direction, it seems unlikely he will immediately jump back into the lineup against the Predators. Still, fantasy players will have to take a wait-and-see approach in the lead up to puck drop Thursday. If Buchnevich doesn't play versus Nashville, he seems poised to return against Colorado on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Jim Montgomery said that Buchnevich is getting better and the Russian winger's absence is unrelated to the hit he was on the receiving end of last week, according to Korac.

Buchnevich is up to 14 goals, 47 points, 126 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-6 rating through 66 appearances while routinely playing in the top six this season, though he's on pace for his worst campaign since joining St. Louis in 2021-22.

The 29-year-old Buchnevich flipped a switch at the start of February to get his offense back on track -- 12 of his 43 points this season have come over his last 11 outings.

EDGE Analysis

Buchnevich has two goals and seven assists during his six-game point streak. His first-period tally Saturday was the game-winning goal.

That mark could be tough to reach this season -- Buchnevich has 13 goals, 42 points, 115 shots on net and a plus-6 rating across 59 appearances.
