The St. Louis Blues have announced the assignment of defenseman Logan Mailloux to the American Hockey League (AHL) following a solid start to the season that saw him struggle without any points in nine games.
Mailloux’s Performance and Recent History
Logan Mailloux, 22, has faced challenges this season. He recorded a minus-12 rating over his nine games played with the Blues. St. Louis acquired Mailloux from the Montreal Canadiens in a trade for forward Zack Bolduc on July 1.
Trade Details
- Logan Mailloux: Age – 22; Season Points – 0 in 9 games; Plus/Minus – -12
- Zack Bolduc: Age – Not specified; Season Points – 6 (4 goals, 2 assists) in 15 games with Montreal
The Blues’ Season Struggles
The Blues currently find themselves in a tough position, ranking second-last in the Western Conference with 13 points from 16 games. Their performance has drawn attention as they work to improve their standings.
Upcoming Talents
Alongside Mailloux’s demotion, the Blues will see 24-year-old Skinner make his NHL debut soon. Hailing from Wyandotte, Michigan, Skinner was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the New York Rangers. He has contributed one goal and one assist in 11 games with the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds thus far this season.
The Blues are looking to recalibrate their roster in hopes of reversing their early season fortunes.
