Bolduc provided an assist and three hits in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.
Bolduc is up to three helpers over nine appearances this season. He's also been scratched twice so far, though injuries to Mathieu Joseph (lower body) and Kasperi Kapanen (upper body) should provide some short-term safety for Bolduc's spot in the lineup. The 21-year-old forward has added 10 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating while averaging 12:26 of ice time, including 1:24 per game on the power play.

Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Provides assist
Rotowire
Bolduc logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.
Bolduc has been listed on the Blues' second line since Alexandre Texier (upper body) exited the lineup. However, it appears as though Bolduc has lost some trust, as he was last among the team's skaters with 10:45 of ice time in Tuesday's loss. The 21-year-old has four shots on net and a plus-3 rating to go with his one assist, but he'll need to show a bit more on offense before he'll be an option in fantasy.

Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Could be an option Tuesday
Rotowire
Bolduc was recalled from AHL Springfield on Tuesday.
Bolduc was assigned to Springfield on Monday, but the move now appears to have been procedural. The 21-year-old is eligible to play in Tuesday's contest against Seattle, but it remains to be seen if he will draw into the lineup. Bolduc is more likely to begin the season as St. Louis' 13th forward. The left-shot center garnered nine points (five goals) in 25 regular-season games with the Blues in 2023-24.

Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Two-point effort Wednesday
Rotowire
Bolduc produced a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Chicago.
He potted St. Louis' fourth goal just before the seven-minute mark in the first period before helping to set up a Robert Thomas tally in the third. Bolduc has moved into a top-six role over the last week as the Blues try to find a combination that will allow them to catch the Golden Knights for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, and the 21-year-old rookie has responded with two goals and three points in the last two games. The 2021 first-round pick will likely get every opportunity to stay hot over the final few games of the regular season.

Rotowire
Bolduc scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.

He's up to three goals, five points, 30 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 21 contests overall.

Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Notches second assist of season
Rotowire
Bolduc posted an assist, a shot on net and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
The 2021 first-round pick now has two assists over the last three games after enduring an eight-game drought. Bolduc's ice time is limited, as he has surpassed 12 minutes of ice time just once this season. The Blues appear dedicated to giving Bolduc some run with the big club, but the 21-year-old likely needs more seasoning in the AHL before making the jump full time.

Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Pots first NHL goal
Rotowire
Bolduc scored the Blues' only goal Saturday in a 6-1 loss to the Red Wings.
In his second NHL game, Bolduc scored his first career goal midway through the second period by taking a pass out of the corner from Brandon Saad and snapping the puck past Alex Lyon. The 17th overall pick in the 2021 Draft, Bolduc posted big numbers in the QMJHL but had only eight goals and 23 points in 48 games for AHL Springfield prior to his promotion to the NHL on Tuesday. The 21-year-old has talent, but this early into his pro career, he's likely not ready to make a consistent impact for the Blues.
