Hugh McGing Reassigned to AHL Springfield Thunderbirds by Blues

The St. Louis Blues have assigned winger Hugh McGing to the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds following a successful NHL call-up. McGing, recalled on December 9th, played three games, recording his first career NHL goal and an assist while averaging 10:52 of ice time. Despite his positive performance, the move comes as the Blues have made other roster adjustments, including recalling Otto Stenberg and claiming Jonatan Berggren. McGing, a 2018 fifth-round pick, had 4 goals and 6 points in 18 AHL games this season and is expected to be a top candidate for future NHL call-ups.
