The St. Louis Blues have reassigned defenseman Theo Lindstein and forward Otto Stenberg to AHL Springfield after their brief stint in the NHL. Both players contributed to the Blues' playoff efforts, but with the Western Conference playoff picture settled, they return to help Springfield as it vies for playoff berths, holding a slim lead in the Atlantic Division. Lindstein performed well in his 17-game NHL appearance, while Stenberg has shown promise in his first season.

  • Theo Lindstein registered 4 points (2 goals, 2 assists) in 17 games with a +6 rating in the NHL.

What's Next

Both players will likely be key components for Springfield as they contend for the playoffs. Lindstein's recent performance has positioned him well for a potential roster spot in the next training camp, while Stenberg is expected to be a consistent presence in the Blues lineup by October.
