Blues Assign Top Prospect Otto Stenberg to AHL for Olympic Break Play

AutoDraft Pro AI

St. Louis Blues top prospect Otto Stenberg, a 2023 first-round pick, has been assigned to the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds. This move allows him to continue playing during the NHL's three-week Winter Olympic break, as playing any of the remaining five NHL games would have made him ineligible. Stenberg had a strong start to his NHL career with 1 goal and 7 assists in 18 games, and the Blues are "very happy" with his high-end game management.
