The Story in 60 Seconds

The St. Louis Blues have recalled forward prospects Otto Stenberg and Aleksanteri Kaskimaki from the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds. Both players are planned to slot alongside center Pius Suter on the fourth line ahead of an upcoming game against the Winnipeg Jets. The moves come as injuries to the Blues' depth open up NHL opportunities for both young forwards after six appearances in the AHL this season.

Kaskimaki recorded two goals and five assists in six games with Springfield after going scoreless in five NHL games last season. Meanwhile, Stenberg brings experience from 32 NHL games in the 2025-26 season, where he recorded 10 points. Bleedin' Blue notes both skaters offer strong two-way capabilities, with the potential to move up to the third line if needed.
