Kyrou (knee) was traded to the Capitals from St. Louis on Tuesday in exchange for Connor McMichael, Milton Gastrin and the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.
After Kyrou was one of the names that headlined rumors at the 2026 trade deadline, he'll head to the nation's capital to play for Washington. The 28-year-old winger has put together a strong career thus far, scoring 168 goals and totaling 378 points across 488 regular-season games with the St. Louis Blues. While he took a small step back in production during the 2025-26 campaign with 46 points in 72 outings, he also averaged just 15:44 of ice time, which was his lowest level since 2020-21. It wouldn't be surprising for Washington to give him responsibilities more in line with his average of 17:56 across three regular seasons from 2022-23 through 2024-25. Despite needing a knee surgery in April, he's a prime bounce-back candidate for the upcoming season.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Undergoes knee surgery
Rotowire
The Blues announced Thursday that Kyrou underwent a minor knee procedure earlier this week but is expected to be ready for training camp.
Kyrou completed the regular season with 18 goals and 46 points in 72 outings after finishing each of the previous three regular seasons with over 30 goals and 65 points. Although he'll have a recovery process during the offseason, it's encouraging that he's slated to be ready for camp ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Lights lamp on power play
Rotowire
Kyrou netted a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over Chicago.
Kyrou's power-play tally midway through the second period gave the Blues their second lead of the game, which they would expand upon to secure Saturday's win. Overall, he now has 18 goals, 43 points, 167 shots on net and 26 blocked shots through 69 games this season. Despite taking a step back offensively this season, the 27-year-old winger has three goals and eight points over his last 11 outings.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: May be warming up after cold season
Rotowire
Kyrou delivered two assists in a 5-1 win over Toronto on Saturday.
Kyrou's season has been largely forgettable -- he has just 39 points in 62 games after putting up at least 67 in four straight regular seasons. Kyrou may be warming up -- he has four points (two goals, two assists) and six shots in his last four games. It's still hard to trust him, though, so approach activation with caution.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Scores empty-netter
Rotowire
Kyrou scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Capitals.
Kyrou has scored in back-to-back games after producing just one goal and one assist in 10 appearances previously. He has 17 tallies and 37 points across 60 appearances this campaign. He's nowhere near the same pace he had during the 2024-25 regular season, when he registered 70 points across 82 contests.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Nets PP goal Saturday
Rotowire
Kyrou scored a power-play empty-netter in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Kyrou closed out the scoring for the Blues with a backhander at the 19:12 mark of the final frame. This goal snapped Kyrou's five-game goal drought, and with just two points in his last six appearances, it's clear he remains on a cold stretch. Kyrou has only four points (three goals, one assist) in 12 outings after the Olympic break.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Opens scoring Sunday
Rotowire
Kyrou scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.
Kyrou ended a four-game point drought with the opening, and ultimately game-winning, tally at 4:22 of the second period. The winger, who was the subject of trade rumors but ended up staying put with the Blues, is filling a middle-six role currently. He's up to 15 goals, 34 points, 137 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 53 appearances. Kyrou had posted at least 67 points in each of the last four seasons, but he'll come up well short of that number in 2025-26.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Nets goal in win
Rotowire
Kyrou scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Kyrou's tally at 1:12 of the second period stood as the game-winner. He's picked up the pace since Jan. 10, earning six goals and 10 assists over 13 contests. The 27-year-old has 33 points, 127 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 48 outings this season. The Blues are looking to sell at the trade deadline, and Kyrou's got five more years at an $8.125 million cap hit, which would make him a home-run swing for a contender if a deal is to be made somewhere.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Pair of points Wednesday
Rotowire
Kyrou scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
This was Kyrou's fourth multi-point effort in the last six games. In that span, he's earned four goals and six assists. The 27-year-old winger is up to a total of 13 goals, 32 points (11 on the power play), 123 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 47 appearances. He's had better years, but it looks like he's turning things around, and he should continue to see steady top-six minutes.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Three helpers in Monday's loss
Rotowire
Kyrou notched three assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 6-5 loss to Nashville.
The Blues' second line of Kyrou, Pavel Buchnevich and Jake Neighbours drove the offense early, amassing three goals and nine points between them as the visitors built up a 5-1 lead that somehow evaporated late. Kyrou has produced two three-point performances in the last three games, and over the last 11 contests, the 27-year-old winger has broken out for four goals and 13 points, including one goal and five assists on the power play.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Grabs first apple since return
Rotowire
Kyrou tallied an assist and recorded a block in Monday's 4-2 loss to Buffalo.
Kyrou chipped in with a secondary helper on Brayden Schenn's goal early in the first period. With the apple, Kyrou now has nine assists, 17 points and 73 shots on net over 30 appearances this season. The assist was his first point across two games since his return from a lower-body injury. Although he's well below the pace necessary to reach the 25-goal and 65-point marks for a fifth consecutive regular season, he's showcased the ability to get hot down the stretch of the regular season. In a one-month span from mid-March to mid-April a season ago, he posted 21 points in 17 games. The 27-year-old could still end up having a very strong second half to 2025-26.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Taken off injured reserve
Rotowire
Kyrou (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday against Nashville, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.
Kyrou was forced to miss nine games due to the injury. The 27-year-old struggled offensively before the injury, as he had eight goals and 16 points in 28 games -- a big drop from the 36-goal, 34-assist season he had in 2024-25. Kyrou will play alongside Brayden Schenn and Jonatan Berggren on the second unit, as well as seeing first-unit power-play time.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Deemed week-to-week
Rotowire
Kyrou (lower body) is week-to-week and won't play against Boston on Tuesday.
Kyrou will miss at least one week, but he could be out for longer than that. He sustained the injury in Saturday's 2-1 win over Ottawa and sat out Sunday's 4-3 victory against Montreal. Kyrou has produced eight goals, 16 points, 69 shots on net and 12 blocked shots through 28 appearances this season. Mathieu Joseph and Nick Bjugstad have received increased roles during Kyrou's absence.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Two-point effort Friday
Rotowire
Kyrou scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Kyrou capitalized on a turnover just 1:19 into the game for the first goal, and he also set up a Dylan Holloway tally in the third. That's three points in three games for Kyrou since he was scratched for one contest, though the Blues have still lost twice since he sat out, which suggests head coach Jim Montgomery's message to the team as a whole hasn't fully gotten through. Kyrou is at six goals, 11 points, 43 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 17 appearances, but he remains firmly in a top-six role.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Being scratched Thursday
Rotowire
Kyrou (coach's decision) will be a healthy scratch Thursday versus the Sabres, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Head coach Jim Montgomery is sending a message to both Kyrou and the Blues as a whole after Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Capitals. This is probably just going to be a one-game thing for Kyrou, but it should put every player in the lineup on alert to get their game on track to avoid sitting one out themselves. Kyrou has been limited to eight points in 14 games this season, though he has been held scoreless in four straight outings.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Point streak at seven games
Rotowire
Kyrou scored his third goal of the season in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
The 27-year-old winger knotted the game at 2-2 late in the first period, tapping home a slick feed from Brayden Schenn on an odd-man rush, but the game slipped away from the Blues over the last 40 minutes. Kyrou has gotten onto the scoresheet in seven straight contests, but he has yet to record a multi-point performance, collecting three goals and four points during the streak.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Nets PP goal Saturday
Rotowire
Kyrou scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings.
Kyrou broke the deadlock for the Blues at the 7:43 mark of the first period on the power play. Kyrou has two goals this season, but the 27-year-old continues to find ways to produce. This first-period goal extended Kyrou's point streak to six games, a stretch where he's notched two goals and four assists. Plus, each of his last three points has come with the man advantage.
