Alexey Toropchenko Exits Season Opener With Shoulder Injury

St. Louis Blues forward Alexey Toropchenko left the team's season-opening 4-0 win against the Dallas Stars with an apparent right shoulder injury. Toropchenko exited the contest early in the second period following a hit behind his own net delivered by Lian Bichsel and Tyler Seguin. The injury occurred during a game where Mason McTavish and Dalibor Dvorsky powered the Blues' offense, and goaltender Joel Hofer secured a shutout with 25 saves.
