Blues' Tyler Tucker: Picks up helper Saturday

Tucker registered an assist and five PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Tucker's usage was limited to 8:19 of ice time, down from 15:26 in the season opener Thursday versus the Wild. For now, he's holding off Matt Kessel for a third-pairing job. Tucker brings some grit for the Blues after posting 81 hits, 39 blocked shots and 55 PIM in addition to a career-high seven points in 38 regular-season games last year.
