Alexey Toropchenko Out On Saturday
1 month agoSt. Louis Blues right wing Alexey Toropchenko (lower body) will miss Saturday's matchup against Carolina. The Russian forward is dealing with a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day. Toropchenko is a big physical piece for the Blues on the fourth line, who has tallied one assist with four shots and 12 hits in five games this season. His absence gives Nathan Walker a chance to rejoin the action on Saturday. Walker logged one assist, four shots, and 12 hits in four games before being scratched for Thursday's 1-0 overtime victory against the Islanders. He has posted very similar numbers to Toropchenko, so it's basically a like-for-like change on the fourth line. Fantasy managers should ignore Walker.
