Alexei Toropchenko didn’t make his Blues’ debut until December 14th, and he didn’t stick on the roster until his return against the Ottawa Senators on March 8th. Down the stretch and into the playoffs, he became a welcome sight on the Blues’ fourth line. The very large winger, who stands at 6’6” and weighs 222 lbs, isn’t afraid to use his body to knock guys off of the puck or out of the play. He finished the regular season with two goals and the playoffs with two assists, but his scoring prowess is not what the coaching staff likes about him.
