Sundqvist produced an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
Sundqvist had been a scratch for the previous two games after going without a point over four contests following his return from an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old forward continues to fill a bottom-six role, so his chances on offense are likely to remain limited. Sundqvist is at 15 points, 36 shots on net, 59 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 48 appearances.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Nets overtime winner
Rotowire
Thomas scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
Thomas is playing through a suspected hand injury, which is preventing him from taking faceoffs. It's not slowing him down on offense -- he extended his point streak to seven games with the game-winning tally Friday. During the streak, he has five goals and six assists, and he's up to 16 goals, 44 points, 76 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 49 appearances.

Rotowire

Fowler tied the game at 2-2 with 3:46 left in the third period, then set up Robert Thomas' goal at 4:51 of overtime. The 34-year-old Fowler has picked up the pace with a goal and six assists during his six-game point streak, and he's maintained an even or positive rating in nine straight contests. For the season, the defenseman is at two goals, 25 points, 79 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 66 appearances.

Blues' Joel Hofer: Backstops comeback win
Rotowire
Hofer stopped 36 of 38 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
The Oilers led 2-0 midway through the third period, but Hofer locked in to let the Blues make a comeback. The 25-year-old Hofer has won five of his last six outings, giving up two or fewer goals in all five of his victories in that span. He's up to 17-11-4 with a 2.70 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 36 appearances. Both Hofer and Jordan Binnington had thrived since the Olympic break, though Hofer continues to see a slight edge for playing time. The Blues have a three-game road trip up next, facing the Jets, Flames and Canucks in a trio of favorable matchups, so Hofer's a decent fantasy option over the next week-plus.
Hofer will guard the home goal versus the Oilers on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Hofer has gone 4-0-1 with just eight goals allowed on 154 shots (.948 save percentage) over five games since the Olympic break. The 25-year-old netminder continues to play well, but he'll need to be sharp against the Oilers, who figure to be ornery after their 7-2 loss to the Stars on Thursday. Hofer will catch a slight break since Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (personal) isn't in Edmonton's lineup Friday.

Blues' Jonathan Drouin: Slated to play Friday
Rotowire
Drouin (not injury related) is expected to play Friday versus Edmonton.
Drouin took Thursday's game against Carolina off so that he could return to New York to pick up his things. He hadn't gotten a chance to do so since St. Louis acquired him from the Islanders on March 6. Drouin is back with the Blues and might serve on the second line alongside Pavel Buchnevich and Otto Stenberg versus the Oilers.
Buchnevich scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Buchnevich has slowed down a bit with two points over his last five outings. The 30-year-old is still rolling in top-six minutes, as the Blues don't have better options to bump him down the lineup. He's up to 15 goals, 40 points, 120 shots on net and a minus-12 rating across 65 appearances. Buchnevich has done well to get his season on track after starting slow -- he has a chance to push for a fifth straight campaign at or above 50 points.

Blues' Jordan Binnington: Calms Hurricanes with ease
Rotowire
Binnington made 31 saves in a 3-1 win over Carolina on Thursday.
Mark Jankowski was the only Carolina player to beat him. Binnington and Joel Hofer had been alternating starts until the lead-up to the trade deadline, when the Blues rolled Hofer to protect Binner from injury. He was strong Thursday, so we could be looking at return to the alternating state going forward. Since the start of March, Hofer has gotten four of the Blues' six starts (3-0-1). Binnington is 2-0-0 with just three goals allowed in the same span.
Holloway had two assists Thursday in a 3-1 win over Carolina.
Holloway's point streak stands at five games and eight points (two goals, six assists). Overall, he has 13 goals, 16 assists and 104 shots in 42 games. Holloway missed 23 games to injury this season, and he has struggled to deliver when he's been on the ice. His 0.69 points-per-game this year is a big drop from the 0.81 he delivered last season, when he put up 63 points in 77 games. Holloway's current streak is a good sign. The talent is there, so he could give you a strong push to your postseason.

Blues' Jimmy Snuggerud: Multi-point game streak at four
Rotowire
Snuggerud scored two goals in a 3-1 win over the Hurricanes on Thursday.
Snuggerud's second goal stood as the winner. It was his fourth straight multi-point game, and he extended his goal streak to four games (five goals, four assists). He has 16 shots on the streak. Snuggerud sits fifth on the NHL scoring list with 34 points (15 goals, 19 assists). But more impressively, he has four game-winning goals which leads the Blues this season.
Drouin (not injury related) will miss Thursday's game in Carolina, per Andy Strickland of the FanDuel Sports Network.
Drouin was acquired by St. Louis from the Islanders on March 6, but the Islanders were on the road when he was dealt, and he hasn't gotten the opportunity to return to New York to pick up his things. For that reason, Drouin has briefly parted ways with the Blues to gather his stuff. He's expected to be an option for Friday's home game against the Oilers. Nathan Walker might play Thursday due to Drouin's absence.

Blues' Robert Thomas: Slated to play Thursday
Rotowire
Thomas (upper body) is slated to play in Thursday's game against the Hurricanes.
Thomas suffered an upper-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Islanders, but the issue is believed to be minor, and the 26-year-old should be able to suit up after skating on the first line during Thursday's morning skate. Thomas has been dominant over five appearances in March, racking up four goals, five assists, eight blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-10 rating while averaging 17:50 of ice time.

Rotowire
Binnington is expected to start Thursday's road game against Carolina.
Binnington has started in just one of the Blues' five games in March, but he's set to start in the first half of a back-to-back set Thursday. Across 10 appearances since the start of the calendar year, he's gone 2-8-0 with a 3.54 GAA and .867 save percentage.
