St. Louis Blues Claim Winger Jonatan Berggren Off Waivers

The St. Louis Blues have claimed 25-year-old winger Jonatan Berggren off waivers from the Detroit Red Wings. Berggren, a 2018 second-round pick, played 15 games this season for Detroit, scoring two goals and six points before being placed on waivers. Throughout his four-year NHL career, he has 31 goals and 64 points in 169 games. His rookie campaign in 2022-23 saw 15 goals and 28 points in 67 games, but he spent most of the following season in the AHL. The Blues are expected to give him an increased role due to injuries. He signed a one-year, $1.825 million deal in the off-season and will be a restricted free agent.
