Logan Mailloux has secured a spot in the NHL, as confirmed by the St. Louis Blues. He is set to start the 2025-26 season with the team after an impressive training camp, where he recorded four assists across four games. Both Mailloux and teammate Jimmy Snuggerud have been advised to find accommodations in St. Louis, indicating their inclusion in the roster.
Mailloux’s Performance and Role
The expectation for Mailloux to play at the NHL level has been apparent since summer. The Blues provided him ample opportunities, which he capitalized on effectively. His offensive capabilities have been acknowledged, predicting he could reach around 40 points with more than 10 goals this season.
Player Comparisons and Expectations
In contrast, Zachary Bolduc will begin the season playing on the first wave of the Canadiens’ powerplay. The moves made by both clubs show their commitment to nurturing young talent. The Blues invested significantly to acquire Mailloux from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Bolduc, demonstrating the high hopes pinned on both players.
Strategic Use in Gameplay
Analysts have noted that Mailloux is expected to play on the third defensive pair alongside Tyler Tucker. Additionally, he will likely participate on the second wave of the powerplay, teaming up with players such as Justin Faulk and Jordan Kyrou. This strategic placement enhances his chances for a productive season.
