  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Buchnevich won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Devils due to a lower-body injury. Buchnevich suffered the injury in the second period and was quickly ruled out during the subsequent intermission. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Flyers. If he can't play, Mathieu Joseph or Alexandre Texier could replace him in the lineup.

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Buchnevich scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added four hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. The former Ranger finished off the Blues' win against his old team. Buchnevich has done alright in November with three goals and eight points over 12 appearances this month. The 29-year-old is up to 14 points, 43 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-5 rating over 23 contests. His role is unlikely to change much following the Blues' hiring of Jim Montgomery to replace Drew Bannister as head coach -- look for Buchnevich to remain in a top-six role with power-play time.

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Buchnevich notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders. The helper was Buchnevich's second over the last five games. He's been decent in November with two goals and five assists through 11 appearances, but the fact that he's in a top-line role while carrying an $8 million cap hit suggests that he should be capable of more. For the season, the 29-year-old has five goals, eight assists, four power-play points, 39 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 22 appearances.
