Among the team’s primary scorers, Jordan Kyrou (13.1%) and Pavel Buchnevich (12.7%) continue to provide consistent production, combining strong shot volume with solid finishing ability.St. Louis Blues stats (2026): Jordan Kyrou (RW)GP: 53G: 19A: 24PTS: 43Shots: 145Shooting %: 13.1Further down the lineup, younger contributors like Jimmy Snuggerud (11.0%), Dalibor Dvorsky (12.8%), and Dylan Holloway (10.4%) show balanced offensive output, though with slightly lower efficiency as their shot totals increase. Veteran Brayden Schenn remains a steady presence with a 13.8% shooting rate, while the defensive corps—led by Philip Broberg (6.8%), Cam Fowler (3.4%), and Colton Parayko (2.0%)—reflects the typical trend of lower shooting percentages from the blue line. Overall, the Blues demonstrate a mix of high-end efficiency at the top of the lineup and developing offensive depth, with Thomas setting the standard as the team’s most effective finisher.St. Louis Blues stats (2026): Colton Parayko (D)GP: 71G: 2A: 14PTS: 16Shots: 98Shooting %: 2.0See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
