Leddy (lower body) will join the Blues on their upcoming four-game road trip, which will begin Thursday in Toronto, per Lou Korac of NHL.com on Wednesday.
Leddy has missed the Blues' past three games, but the fact that he'll travel with the team suggests he might be close to returning. He has no points, four shots and five blocks in four appearances in 2024-25. Once he's healthy, Leddy is projected to serve in a top-four capacity and Pierre-Olivier Joseph might shift to the press box.

Blues' Nick Leddy: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Leddy wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice session due to a lower-body injury, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Leddy hasn't been ruled out versus the Islanders on Thursday yet but could still be held out. The fact that the Blues are carrying eight defensemen on their 23-man roster might also factor into the decision to put Leddy on the shelf for a game even if his lower-body injury is deemed minor. Pierre-Olivier Joseph appears to have the inside track for replacing Leddy if necessary, though Scott Perunovich is also waiting for an opportunity to play.

Leddy also added a career-high 127 blocked shots while averaging 22:22 of ice time. The 33-year-old has proven he can eat big minutes on the blue line, but his lack of power-play minutes over two seasons with the Blues has limited his fantasy upside.

Leddy ended a seven-game pointless streak with his helper Thursday but remains mired in a 31-game goal drought dating back to Jan. 28 versus the Kings.

Blues' Nick Leddy: Gets rare power-play point
Rotowire
Leddy added a power-play assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
Leddy typically doesn't see any action on the power play. He failed to log a man-advantage point with the Blues all of last year, but the defenseman saw 1:03 of ice time in that special teams spot Sunday, dishing to goal-scorer Robert Thomas on a double screen. With three goals, 16 assists, 75 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 51 games, Leddy remains a low-end fantasy option.

Leddy has a helper in each of the last two games, turning things around from his recent 10-game point drought. His longest streak of the season is three contests, so a sustained surge of offense isn't likely for the veteran defenseman.

Blues' Nick Leddy: Records two assists vs. Washington
Rotowire
Leddy registered two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over Washington.
Leddy was held off the scoresheet over his previous seven contests and earned just his second multi-point game of the campaign. He has two goals and 18 points in 64 appearances this season. Although Leddy recorded at least 40 points in each campaign from 2015-16 through 2017-18, the 31-year-old is no longer a significant offensive force. He gets very little power-play ice time with St. Louis, but he still regularly serves in a top-four capacity.
