The St.Louis Blues are in a little bit of a limbo period, with their next game not until Wednesday. With that said, there was one newsworthy thing to happen today, and it was a good decision by General Manager Doug Armstrong.
Alexey Toropchenko, who has been a steady presence on the fourth line this season, signed a two-year contract extension. It holds an AAV of $2.5 million.
Toropchenko is a valued penalty-killer and has a rough-and-tough game, making him a perfect fit for the bottom-six. He has two goals and three assists for five points on the season, with 57 hits on the season.
