The St. Louis Blues have made two injury-related moves ahead of their season opener, placing defensemen Logan Mailloux and Tyler Tucker on injured reserve. Mailloux, who underwent surgery on his right hand after sustaining an injury during the preseason finale against the Chicago Blackhawks, will be re-evaluated in eight weeks. Tucker, considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, will also need to recover before returning to the lineup.

The team's 2026-27 season will kick off with a three-game road trip, beginning with a matchup against the Dallas Stars on Friday night.
