Blues' Alexei Toropchenko: Opens scoring

Toropchenko recorded a goal and one hit in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

In a low-scoring affair, Toropchenko tipped one past Marc-Andre Fleury in the first period on only the third shot of the game. Toropchenko added a hit, one shot on net and a plus-1 rating in 9:30 of ice time. The 24-year-old forward ended his seven-game scoring slump to give him 10 goals through 60 contests this season. He has averaged just 12:22 of ice time this season, which remains a significant hurdle for his fantasy value. Until that changes, Toropchenko will struggle for consistent point production.
