Dallas Stars topped the Blues 5-3 in a lively preseason tilt, improving to 4-1 in exhibition play. Early were Lyubushkin and Johnston for a 2-0 burst, though St. Louis answered with Holloway and Broberg. Faksa’s return goal against his old team helped Dallas reclaim the lead, with Seguin adding a goal and two assists and Robertson sealing it with an empty-netter. Dallas outshot 30-24 as DeSmith stopped 21 of 24 shots.

Cam Fowler's three-year, $6.1M extension locks the Blues' blueline through age 37 and extends their contention window. He produced 40 points in 68 games last season across Blues and Ducks, part of a 493-point career total in 1,042 games and a 2022-23 peak of 48 points and 104 blocks.

St. Louis keeps a veteran anchor while Philip Broberg looms as the only real uncertain defenseman due to RFA status, and the Jeremie Biakabutuka trade adds future depth. The deal signals a patient plan to sustain a competitive window for the next several seasons.

Aleksander Barkov clinched a thrilling victory for the Florida Panthers with a power-play goal just 18 seconds into overtime, securing a 2-1 win against the St. Louis Blues.

Stuart Skinner was solid in net, making 29 saves. The Blues, under new head coach Jim Montgomery, saw their two-game winning streak end, with Dylan Holloway and Jake Neighbours scoring for them. The game also highlighted the performance of former Oilers, Philip Broberg and Holloway, who have thrived since their departure.
