The St. Louis Blues have reached the 10-game mark of their 2026-27 season with a 5-4-1 record. Coming off an energetic 6-2 statement win over the Vegas Golden Knights at the Enterprise Center, the roster has started to show some of its true colors. Chemistry is developing, and the rust from the offseason is seemingly in the past.
Stock trending up
Several key players on this Blues team have begun to raise their stock. While a majority of the roster sputtered out of the gate, a 10-game sample size has given a wide range of data to help better understand who has been ready to start the season on the right foot and who has been a little slow to get started.
Dylan Holloway
Holloway is now riding a six-game point streak with three goals and 10 points in that timeframe. He took over against Vegas with a two-goal, three-point performance, including a goal on the power play. He's maintained his spot on the top line alongside Robert Thomas and Jake Neighbours, solidifying himself as one of the team's premier engines driving this offense.
Mason McTavish
Mason McTavish is playing like a runaway freight train right now, tied for the team lead with 10 points in 10 games and tied for the most on the team with six goals scored. Whether he is burying goals, winning faceoffs, or bulldozing his way through heavy traffic, McTavish is working as a true heart and soul player for this Blues team.
Philip Broberg
Broberg has quickly turned himself not only into the Blues' number one defenseman, but into a player who could justify Norris Trophy votes at the end of this season. His elite skating and vision have allowed him to break out clean from the defensive zone and find room on the power play to unleash 90 MPH one-timers. His stock is truly rising, and Broberg is putting the league on notice.

Theo Lindstein
After a strong preseason, it was believed that Lindstein had solidified a spot on the bottom or second pairing. The number of defensemen on the Blues' blue line has ultimately squeezed him out of the NHL and back to Springfield to play in the AHL. His ice time continued to dip throughout the season, and he was relegated to the press box for six of the first 10 games in favor of waiver wire pickup Justin Barron. Sending him to Springfield, however, should allow him to pick up 18-20 or more minutes per night instead of sitting in the press box in St. Louis.
Dalibor Dvorsky
After scoring goals in his first two games of the season against Dallas and Colorado, Dvorsky hit a wall. He is in an eight-game goal drought and has even been challenged by Head Coach Jim Montgomery to find the next gear in his game. His ice time has dropped to 10-11 minutes of ice time per game over the past few games, in favor of players like McTavish and Pius Suter.
Jordan Binnington
The early play from Binnington has been less than ideal. With a 1-2-0 record and an ugly .831 save percentage and a 4.67 goals against average, there's little to like about the start to his 2026-27 campaign. While taking over as the team's backup goaltender and with the uncertainty of his future in the NHL, Binnington is clearly going through it and needs to find a way to find his game once more.
