Blues' Pavel Buchnevich: Returns with two-point game

Buchnevich (upper body) scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 road loss against the Jets.

Buchnevich had a hand in each of the team's goals after a two-game absence. He ended up with a minus-1 rating, three shots on goal, a blocked shot and a hit in 17:25 of ice time across 22 shifts. The points were the first for the 28-year-old Russian left winger this year. Despite his somewhat slow start, Buchnevich should be able to produce at above a point-per-game pace for a third straight campaign in 2023-24.
