Stenberg was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Stenberg has logged 32 games for the Blues as a rookie this season, notching three goals and seven helpers to go with 49 hits. Rather than keeping the 20-year-old center in the NHL for the final two games of the season, the organization is choosing to bolster the Thunderbirds' ranks ahead of a postseason push.

Foudy was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday.

Foudy hasn't gotten into an NHL game this season, featuring exclusively in the minors where he has racked up 46 points in 58 games for AHL Bridgeport. Fantasy managers can expect the 26-year-old center to get into Tuesday's matchup with the Hurricanes. Selected 18th overall in the 2018 NHL Draft, Foudy's brief cameo could open the door for him to secure a roster spot heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

Snuggerud produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

The 21-year-old winger helped set up Colton Parayko for the game's opening tally early in the first period before firing home an empty-netter from deep in his own end late in the third to put away his hometown team. Snuggerud has had a very impressive finish to his first full NHL campaign, and over the last 19 games, he's delivered nine goals and 21 points. The Blues have two games left on their schedule, giving Snuggerud two chances to score one more goal and reach 20 for the first time.

Eklund was promoted from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday.

Eklund, along with Liam Foudy, has presumably been added to the NHL roster in order to suit up in the season finale versus Carolina on Tuesday. After coming over from Sweden in late March, the 19-year-old winger has logged seven games for AHL Bridgeport in which he has tallied two goals and seven helpers. If he can show that level of offensive upside at training camp in the fall, Eklund should have a good chance of making the 2026-27 Opening Night roster.

Hofer made 28 saves in Monday's 6-3 win over Minnesota.

The Wild grabbed a 3-1 lead early in the second period on a Michael McCarron shorthanded tally, but Hofer kept his cool and shut the door the rest of the way as the Blues took control. The 25-year-old has seized the top job in the St. Louis crease down the stretch, starting five of the last six games and going 4-1-0 with a 2.64 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Foligno scored an even-strength goal and added a shorthanded assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blues.

With the Wild having nothing to play for and sitting stars like Kirill Kaprizov and Quinn Hughes, Foligno handled a much bigger role than usual and snapped a 13-game point drought and a 16-game goalless streak as a result. The 38-year-old winger has just four goals and 14 points in 53 contests on the season, and even his physical edge is fading -- his 126 hits are his lowest total since 2012-13, when he managed 99 in 45 regular-season games for the Blue Jackets.

Gustavsson turned aside 16 of 21 shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blues, with St. Louis' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The Wild grabbed a 3-1 lead early in the second period, but the game was all Blues the rest of the way. Gustavsson is struggling badly to close out the regular season -- he's given up at least four goals in four straight starts and five of his last six, stumbling to a 2-4-0 record, 4.25 GAA and .836 save percentage over that latter stretch. By contrast, Jesper Wallstedt hasn't given up four goals in an outing since late February, posting a 1.97 GAA and .927 save percentage over his last nine appearances. Minnesota coach John Hynes could have a tough choice to make between the pipes when the playoffs begin.

Nedeljkovic turned aside 25 of 27 shots on net in Monday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Nedeljkovic kept San Jose's net tidy across the first 55 minutes of regulation before Nashville's Luke Evangelista scored two late goals to give the Sharks a scare. Nedeljkovic's win Monday brought him up to a 17-14-4 record, a 2.92 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 39 outings this season. The 30-year-old netminder played his part to keep the Sharks in playoff contention until yesterday with a 4-1-0 record, a 2.41 GAA and a .905 save percentage over his last five appearances. If he appears in either of San Jose's last two games of the regular season, he's a solid spot start in most fantasy formats.

Michkov scored his 19th goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

The 21-year-old got the Flyers on the board midway through the second period, taking a slick cross-ice pass from Denver Barkey and snapping a shot past Brandon Bussi. Michkov is building up steam heading into the playoffs, racking up three goals and eight points over the last six games, but his 48 points in 80 contests on the season still leaves him well short of his 2024-25 rookie-year production.

Vladar stopped 24 shots in regulation and overtime and all four shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Carolina was resting stars like Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov, having already clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but the visitors still grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period. Vladar kept his focus and shut the door the rest of the way, and in the process, he helped the Flyers lock up their first playoff berth since 2019-20. The 28-year-old has reasserted himself as Philly's No. 1 netminder down the stretch, going 5-1-0 over the last six games with a dazzling 1.81 GAA and .921 save percentage.
