Neighbours (upper body) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Columbus.
This appears to be a different issue than the lower-body injury that left Neighbours as a game-time decision for Thursday's game. Neighbours has 13 goals, 22 points, 22 PIM and 104 hits in 42 outings in 2025-26. His exit from the lineup coincides with Pius Suter's (ankle) return.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Deemed game-time call
Rotowire
Neighbours (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Panthers, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Neighbours exited Tuesday's game against the Stars due to a lower-body injury and was labeled day-to-day by head coach Jim Montgomery a day later.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Neighbours (lower body) was labeled day-to-day Wednesday, as head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters, "I don't know if they're players (Thursday), but it's good news. It's not going to be long."
Neighbours has scored just twice in his last 16 outings while registering a mere 21 shots despite filling a top-six role. If the winger is unable to play against the Panthers on Thursday, the Blues may need to recall a player or two from the minors, as Jordan Kyrou (upper body) is also day-to-day ahead of the clash with Florida.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Leaves game with lower-body injury
Rotowire
Neighbours (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Stars.
Neighbours was hurt late in the first period and was not able to return. The 23-year-old winger's status beyond Tuesday is not yet known, leaving him questionable to play Thursday versus the Panthers. The Blues don't have any healthy extras at forward on the roster, so they may need to make a roster move if Neighbours is out.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Tallies in win
Rotowire
Neighbours scored a goal and added four hits in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.
Neighbours is now on a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist). The winger opened the scoring at 17:03 of the first period. Prior to his recent burst of offense, Neighbours had gone eight games without a point, and consistency is likely to remain an issue on a low-scoring team. The 23-year-old has 12 goals, 20 points, 50 shots on net, 99 hits and a minus-12 rating across 36 appearances.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Buries power-play goal
Rotowire
Neighbours scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Neighbours ended an eight-game point drought when he scored at 3:33 of the third period. The 23-year-old winger has the tools to be a multi-category stud in fantasy, but lengthy droughts on offense won't get him to that status. He's up to 11 goals, 18 points (three on the power play), 48 shots on net, 93 hits, 19 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-14 rating through 34 outings this season.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Scores twice Saturday
Rotowire
Neighbours scored two goals in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Neighbours finally ended his seven-game goal drought with this performance. Despite holding a top-six role in the lineup, Neighbours has tallied just four goals and 10 points in his last 17 appearances while going without a goal in 15 of those games. He's still a player worth streaming in some formats, but his recent production has been subpar and doesn't justify keeping him as a regular starter in most formats.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Lights lamp twice
Rotowire
Neighbours scored two goals in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Senators.
Neighbours scored late in the second period and just 12 seconds into the final frame to give the Blues a lead they'd never relinquish.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Draws assist in return
Rotowire
Neighbours posted a power-play assist and three hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Neighbours returned from a leg injury in just over three weeks after it was expected to sideline him for five weeks. The 23-year-old was a little limited in his return with 14:13 of ice time despite being listed on the top line. He may need some time to get up to speed, but he'll be a power forward who should draw some interest in fantasy once he's back in peak form. Neighbours has earned eight points, 13 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-5 rating over nine appearances this season.

Rotowire
Neighbours (leg) participated in Monday's practice and appears to be nearing a return to the lineup, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Neighbours will accompany the Blues on the team's upcoming five-game road trip and will likely return at some point during that stretch. However, he will miss his 12th straight game against Toronto on Tuesday, according to Korac. The 23-year-old Neighbours has six goals, one assist, 12 shots on net and 20 hits through eight appearances this season.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Out at least five weeks
Rotowire
Neighbours suffered a right-leg injury and will be out of action for at least five weeks. As a result, the Blues placed him on injured reserve Tuesday.
According to the team, Neighbours will be re-evaluated in five weeks, so he could certainly be sidelined even longer. Prior to getting hurt, the 23-year-old winger produced six goals and one assist in eight games, despite failing to register a point with the man advantage. With Neighbours sidelined, Alexei Toropchenko should see plenty of minutes in a bottom-six role.

Blues' Jake Neighbours: Not playing Monday
Rotowire
Neighbours (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Pittsburgh on Monday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Neighbours scored two goals and logged 13:55 of ice time in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Detroit. He is day-to-day, and it's unclear if he will play in Tuesday's rematch against the Red Wings. Neighbours has produced six goals, seven points, 12 shots on net, five blocked shots and 20 hits through eight outings this season. With Neighbours and Robert Thomas (upper body) unavailable, Alexei Toropchenko (upper/lower body) and Alexandre Texier will suit up versus the Penguins on Monday.

Rotowire
Neighbours scored two goals in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings.
Neighbours found the back of the net in the first period with a tip-in and added another marker with a wrister at 3:12 of the second frame. The 23-year-old winger snapped a three-game scoring drought with this two-goal effort. He's up to six goals in eight games this campaign, and Neighbours should continue to find plenty of opportunities to keep producing thanks to his top-six and power-play roles.
Neighbours scored a goal, dished an assist, added four PIM, logged three hits and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
Neighbours has been shooting the puck well early in the season, scoring four goals on six shots to start 2025-26. He's added an assist, an even plus-minus rating, 14 hits, four PIM and two blocked shots. Neighbours' strong play should help him stay in the top six, and he's also a part of the second power-play unit, though he hasn't earned a point with the man advantage yet this year.

Rotowire
Neighbours scored an empty-netter with 2:13 left in the third period during Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Neighbours closed out the scoring for the Blues with a wrister into the empty net late in the third period when the Canucks were pushing for a comeback.
