    Blues' Pavel Buchnevich: Puts away empty-netter

    Pavel 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 St. Louis 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.

    Blues' Pavel Buchnevich: Deposits empty-netter

    Pavel Buchnevich scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added five PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.Buchnevich took out some frustration on Pontus Holmberg following the Toronto forward's slash against Jake Neighbours in the third period. Buchnevich was released from the penalty box in time to score an empty-netter, ending a three-game dry spell on offense. The 29-year-old has four goals, three assists, 20 shots on net, eight hits, 10 blocked shots, seven PIM and a plus-3 rating over 12 contests this season. That's modest offense for a player that's topped the 60-point mark in three straight years, though he may be hampered by focusing on the increased defensive responsibilities that have come with his move to playing center full-time -- he's also a paltry 42-for-144 on faceoffs, a 29.2 percent win rate.

    Blues' Pavel Buchnevich: Gets points, struggles at dot

    Pavel Buchnevich put up two assists Thursday in a 5-1 win over Toronto.The points were his first in five games. The Buchnevich experiment at 1C seems to be working in all parts of the game except at the faceoff dot. He was schooled there Thursday, winning just four of 15 (26.7 percent). There will be more pressure on him now that Robert Thomas faces a six-week absence due to a broken ankle. That could impact Buchnevich's offense, but it could also be his catalyst to excellence.

    Pavel Buchnevich contributed 27 goals and 36 assists across 80 games during 2023-24.Buchnevich scored 26 goals and added 41 assists last season, but he managed that total across just 63 contests.
