Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Posts assist in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Bolduc registered an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Bolduc has a helper in back-to-back contests since he was scratched last Saturday versus the Blue Jackets. The 21-year-old will have to keep his performance up in order to stick in the lineup, but he's helping his cause by getting involved on offense. For the season, Bolduc has 14 points, 51 shots on net, 43 hits and a plus-10 rating through 36 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Garners helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Bolduc notched an assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Wild.
Bolduc helped out on a Jake Neighbours tally in the second period. The helper was Bolduc's first point since Dec. 27, and he was scratched versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday. That indicates Bolduc doesn't have a ton of security in a bottom-six role, though he has been in the lineup a vast majority of the time this season. The 21-year-old has produced 13 points, 49 shots on net, 43 hits and a plus-9 rating through 35 appearances.

Rotowire
Bolduc notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers.

Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Nets brace Monday
Rotowire
Bolduc notched two goals, a plus-2 rating, four penalty minutes and seven shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Bolduc found the back of the net for the first time this season in the early stages of the second period, and he completed his brace late in the third frame. That said, considering that Bolduc had accounted for only five points in 16 appearances before this two-goal explosion, fantasy managers should temper his expectations regarding what the 21-year-old forward can bring to the table going forward.

Blues' Zachary Bolduc: Notches helper in loss
Rotowire
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: 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.
