Blues' Jake Neighbours: Status in question against Flames
Rotowire
Neighbours is questionable versus Calgary on Thursday due to an upper-body injury, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
Neighbours is stuck in a three-game pointless streak during which he has registered just three shots despite averaging 1:55 of ice time with the man advantage. If the 22-year-old winger is unable to play Thursday, Nathan Walker is expected to replace him in the lineup, while Dylan Holloway could move into a first-line role.
Neighbours scored a goal with his lone shot and recorded three hits in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Wild.
Neighbours has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last five games, tallying three helpers and one goal in that span, so he remains productive in fantasy.

Neighbours has earned all four of his points this season over his last four games. The winger is back to seeing top-six minutes after bouncing around the lineup a bit early on. He's contributed 17 shots on net, 23 hits, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating through eight appearances.

Neighbours inked a two-year, $7.5 million contract extension with St. Louis on Tuesday.
Neighbours was headed toward restricted free agency after the 2024-25 season but instead will extend his stay with the Blues for another two years. Through six games to open the season, the 22-year-old winger has garnered two goals on 12 shots, one assist and 15 hits while averaging 15:48 of ice time.
