The St. Louis Blues have welcomed back forward Jake Neighbours after a prolonged absence due to a right leg injury. He was activated from injured reserve, having missed the previous 12 games.
Recovery and Performance
Neighbours suffered his injury during a game against the Detroit Red Wings on October 25. Initially, he was set to be re-evaluated in five weeks, but his recovery progressed faster than anticipated.
- Games played this season: 8
- Goals scored: 6 (tied for team lead)
- Total points: 7
Despite participating in only eight games out of the Blues’ 20 this season, Neighbours is tied for the team’s lead in goals alongside right winger Jordan Kyrou.
Team Updates
In addition to Neighbours’ return, the Blues made another roster move by designating forward Alexandre Texier as non-roster. Texier has made limited contributions this season, accumulating one assist and two penalty minutes in eight appearances.
Next Game
Jake Neighbours is slated to make his comeback on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. Fans and team members alike are eager to see his impact on the ice after such a significant absence.
