Lindstein was assigned to AHL Springfield on Monday.

Lindstein was called up by the Blues in late October, and he's generated two assists, two blocked shots, two PIM and a hit while averaging 13:33 of ice time across six NHL appearances to begin the regular season. However, he'll head back to the minors after Logan Mailloux (hand) was activated off injured reserve Monday.

Jiricek was assigned to AHL Springfield on Monday.

Jiricek has one goal, two assists, 23 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and 10 hits in 17 NHL appearances for St. Louis this season. Logan Mailloux (hand) will replace Jiricek in the lineup against Detroit on Tuesday.

Rosen was recalled from AHL Springfield on Monday.

Rosen was sent to the minors ahead of the regular season, and he's recorded three goals, three assists and four PIM across 12 appearances with Springfield to begin the year. He hasn't made a regular-season appearance in the NHL since the 2023-24 campaign but will join the Blues to provide additional depth after Adam Jiricek and Theo Lindstein were sent down Monday.

Crotty was placed on waivers Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

After being claimed off waivers from Ottawa on Oct. 29, Crotty didn't see any playing time with Minnesota. He will likely report to AHL Iowa if he clears waivers.

Cernak notched two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

Cernak has opened November with five helpers and a plus-5 rating over four contests. That's a rare spike on offense for the 29-year-old defenseman, who is best known for his shutdown play. He's at seven assists, 20 shots on net, 30 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 16 appearances in 2026-27.

Willander (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Flyers, Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor reports.

Willander participated in Monday's morning skate, but he skated with the extras and will ultimately be sidelined for a fourth consecutive matchup. However, head coach Manny Malhotra said Monday that Willander is advancing in his recovery. The 21-year-old Willander's next opportunity to return to game action will be Friday against the Rangers.

Mailloux (hand) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

After missing the Blues' first 17 games of 2026-27 due to hand surgery, Mailloux appears poised to make his NHL season debut against Detroit on Tuesday. He had five goals, 13 points, 81 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and 93 hits in 67 regular-season appearances for St. Louis in 2025-26.

Gagne was recalled from AHL Colorado on Monday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Gagne has made 18 appearances in the AHL to begin the regular season, and he's recorded two goals, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating. The 24-year-old will travel with the Avalanche on their upcoming four-game road trip to provide additional depth.

Jones was recalled from AHL Tucson on Monday.

Jones has notched three goals and eight assists in 13 AHL appearances this season. He will be an option on the blue line for Utah's road matchup against Vegas on Wednesday, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup.

Sandin (knee) will be with the Capitals for their two-game road trip, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports Monday.

Sandin has yet to get into a game this year while recovering from knee surgery, but he seems to be getting closer to suiting up for the Caps -- though he won't play during the trip. In 73 regular-season games last year, the 26-year-old blueliner recorded five goals, 24 assists and 90 shots on goal while averaging 19:12 of ice time.
