Blues' Brayden Schenn: Produces two helpers in win
Rotowire
Schenn logged a pair of assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
This was Schenn's first multi-point performance since Nov. 25 versus the Rangers. The center hasn't gone more than two games without a point since that date, and he has three goals and three helpers over his last six outings. For the season, Schenn is at eight goals, 16 assists, 84 shots on net, 97 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 43 appearances.
Schenn scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Schenn is on a four-game, five-point scoring streak that includes three goals, and he has 38 faceoff wins (59.4) in that span. You can't count on Schenn to be that proficient at the dot -- he has a career 47.6 winning percentage in 980 games over 12 seasons -- but you can catch lightning in a bottle occasionally with this 40-point pivot who sometimes goes on streaks like this. Be prepared to drop him when the magic ends. Because it will.

Blues' Brayden Schenn: Scores, assists vs. Rangers
Rotowire
Schenn recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Schenn snapped a four-game pointless drought with his second multi-point game of the season, and the first one in which he recorded a goal and an assist. The 33-year-old playmaker has struggled with consistency, however, and that, along with his role as a middle-six forward, certainly limits his upside a bit in most formats. He has only six points (three goals, three assists) across his last 10 games.

Blues' Brayden Schenn: Generates assist in loss
Rotowire
Schenn had an assist, one shot on net and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Montreal.
Schenn's drive to the net in the second period was rebuffed by Sam Montembeault, but the ensuing sequence let to Jake Neighbours' game-tying tally. The assist was Schenn's second in as many games and third over the last four. He had practiced on the top line earlier this week, presumably as a potential replacement for Robert Thomas (lower body), but he's been back home centering the second line in the two games since. Schenn did a reasonable impression of Thomas, the Blues' faceoff leader (62.6 percent), by winning 15 of 22 (68.2 percent) draws Saturday.

Blues' Brayden Schenn: Moves to top line
Rotowire
Schenn centered the top line at Wednesday's practice, Jeremey Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
Schenn bounced between the second and third lines through seven contests but now looks like the replacement for Robert Thomas, who is expected to miss at least six weeks with a fractured ankle. The club likely hopes Schenn, who has one goal on 21 shots (4.8 shooting percentage) and one assist, can spark a team that is starving for offense thus far, ranking 22nd with 2.71 goals per game.

Blues' Brayden Schenn: Chips in with assist
Rotowire
Schenn notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Schenn has two points through six contests this season. He's been listed on the third line, but with 17-plus minutes of ice time in five of his six appearances, he's functioned more as a top-six forward. The veteran center has added 19 shots on net, 17 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. Schenn maintains a decent shot volume and racks up hits, but he needs to display a little more consistency on offense.

Blues' Brayden Schenn: Completes comeback in overtime
Rotowire
Schenn scored the game-winning goal on a game-high seven shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
Schenn scored 45 seconds into overtime to complete the Blues' rally from a three-goal deficit. The 33-year-old has played on the third line to begin the season, but his ice time has been more in line with a top-six player, so he should still receive plenty of chances to contribute. Schenn was limited to 20 goals and 46 points in 82 appearances last year, but he's been over the 50-point mark in four of the last six campaigns.

Schenn has four goals and a helper through four games in April after potting just two goals with eight assists over 25 games in February and March combined.
