Canucks' Sammy Blais: Agrees to PTO
Blais inked a professional tryout agreement with Vancouver on Thursday.
In addition to his PTO, Blais signed a one-year, minor-league contract with AHL Abbotsford. At a minimum, the 28-year-old winger will have a spot with the organization's minor-league system but will be hoping to secure at least a two-way deal coming out of training camp.

Blues' Sammy Blais: Four hits in win
Blais posted four hits and a shot on net across 7:27 of ice time in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
Blais is skating on the fourth line but is averaging 2.9 hits per game while maintaining a decent scoring touch with seven points through 27 games. He registered 20 points through 31 games last season while averaging 14:36 of ice time, so if he climbs the depth chart, he's worth taking a flier on, especially in DFS circles.

Blues' Sammy Blais: Posts assist in loss
Blais notched an assist and six hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.
Blais has picked up three helpers over nine games in November. The 27-year-old winger is up to one goal, four assists, 12 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-3 rating through 16 contests overall. While his physical play is among the best in the league, Blais hasn't contributed enough offense to justify a roster spot in most fantasy formats.

Blues' Sammy Blais: Hands out helper
Blais logged an assist and six hits in Friday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
Blais set up a Jake Neighbours goal in the second period as the Blues' fourth line combined to open the scoring. The assist snapped a five-game point drought for Blais. The winger has one goal, two helpers, seven shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-1 rating through nine appearances this season. Even if he moved up the lineup, Blais doesn't have enough of a track record on offense to warrant consideration in most fantasy formats.

Blais picked up a secondary assist on Tyler Tucker's goal in the second period. Blais would also post six hits and one blocked shot in his 12:34 of ice time.

Blais logged a pair of assists in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Los Angeles.
Blais set up Brandon Saad's power-play marker in the first period before adding a second assist on Pavel Buchnevich's goal in the second.

Since returning to St. Louis, he's recorded eight goals and 15 points in 22 games after logging just five assists in 40 games with the Rangers. Blais should continue to offer some upside down the stretch while playing a middle-six role with St. Louis.

Blues' Sammy Blais: Contributes two markers
Blais provided two goals in the Blues' 5-2 victory over Washington on Friday.
Blais certainly isn't known for games like this. Through 57 appearances in 2022-23, he's contributed six goals and 14 points. The 26-year-old also has only 23 goals in 190 career contests, but he's been finding the back of the net lately, providing four markers -- along with two assists -- over his last five games. It helps that Blais averaged 14:55 of ice time over four contests from March 9-15 and logged 13:29 versus Washington, which is up from just 10:36 over his first 52 outings.

Blues' Sammy Blais: Inks one-year extension
Blais signed a one-year, $1 million contract extension with St. Louis on Thursday.
Blais has appeared in 49 games split between the Rangers and the Blues this season, picking up two goals, eight points and 153 hits over that span. He should continue to deliver plenty of hits while skating in a bottom-six role for St. Louis in 2023-24, but don't expect him to produce much offense.

Blues' Sammy Blais: Punishing effort
Blais posted two shots on net and five hits in the 5-3 loss to the Kraken on Tuesday.
The Blues traded heavy hitter Ivan Barbashev to the Golden Knights on Sunday, so having Blais back in the Blue Note is a welcomed addition. He has posted two goals, an assist and 34 hits over nine games with the team while skating in a third-line role. The 26-year-old is also playing on the second power-play unit, so he'll have some DFS appeal moving forward.

Blues' Sammy Blais: Should be fine after early exit
Blais was pulled from the third period of Thursday's game versus the Devils, but head coach Craig Berube expects the winger to be fine, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Blais received a hit to the head and was checked for a concussion, but it appears he has avoided a serious injury. Fantasy managers may still want to check his status ahead of Saturday's game versus the Avalanche.

Blues' Sammy Blais: Opens second stint with goal
Blais scored a goal on three shots, logged three hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Coyotes.
Blais began his second stint with the Blues in style, scoring a game-tying goal in the second period. He had been far less successful recently with the Rangers -- he closed out his time on Broadway with a 19-game point drought, and he never scored a goal in 54 appearances with the Blueshirts. Blais spent four seasons in the NHL with the Blues to begin his career before he was dealt to New York ahead of the 2021-22 season. The 26-year-old winger has six points, 34 shots, 122 hits and a plus-1 rating through 41 contests this season, though his bottom-six role will likely keep him off the fantasy radar.
