Parayko scored a goal in Wednesday's 6-5 road victory against the Coyotes.
Parayko ended up with a minus-1 rating, but he was able to notch a game-high six shots on goal with three blocked shots and a hit while also notching a game-high 26:04 of ice time. It was just the third goal of the season for Parayko, and he has totaled just five points across 18 games. He'll look to try and carry over the momentum into Friday's game against the visiting Predators.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Grabs helper in win
Rotowire
Parayko produced an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
Parayko set up a Kevin Hayes empty-net tally at 18:23 of the third period. Through nine contests, Parayko has remained in his usual top-four role. He's providing solid defensive production with 11 hits and 25 blocked shots with a minus-1 rating, but he's added just two points and 14 shots on net. The 30-year-old has maxed out at 35 points in three separate seasons, and with the Blues' offense relatively quiet early in 2023-24, it's unlikely he pushes for a career year.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Searching for first point
Rotowire
Parayko fired two shots on net and blocked two shots over 21:20 of ice time in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Parayko is pacing the Blues in ice time through three games, but he has yet to mark a point on the scoresheet. The 30-year-old has registered nine blocked shots, six shots on goal and three hits. He looks locked into the top pairing, but without power-play minutes, he's tough to depend on for fantasy purposes.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Contributes helper in win
Rotowire
Parayko recorded an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Parayko is securely assigned as a top-pairing defenseman for the Blues, averaging 23 minutes of ice time through 65 games. He's produced four goals, 19 assists, 97 hits and 114 blocked shots to render him useful in some of the deeper fantasy leagues, but Parayko lacks power-play utility -- he has just two man-advantage points (both assists) this season -- and that leaves him a fair distance from the elite cast of blueliners.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Grabs two helpers
Rotowire
Parayko picked up two assists in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Blues.
Parayko assisted on Brandon Saad's power-play tally in the first period before setting up Brayden Schenn's empty-netter in the third. Parayko's offensive production is inconsistent (two goals and 12 assists through 38 games), but his 64 hits and 68 blocked shots increase his value in leagues that reward physicality.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Two helpers in shootout win
Rotowire
Parayko notched two assists, one short-handed, in Tuesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
The veteran blueliner produced his first multi-point night in exactly a month, with the last coming Dec. 3 against the Penguins. Parayko is right on his usual modest scoring pace, collecting two goals and 12 points through 35 contests, but his minus-15 rating would be by far a career worst if he doesn't turn it around in the new year.

Parayko helped out on a Nathan Walker tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winning goal. The assist snapped Parayko's five-game point drought, though his physical play often makes up for when his offense is cold.
