Tucker logged a shorthanded assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Tucker helped out on Ryan Suter's goal in the first period. This ended a nine-game point drought for Tucker, who continues to play on the third pairing, though he may give way once Colton Parayko (knee) is ready to return. Parayko is targeting a return for one of the final two games of the regular season, but Tucker could stick in the lineup if the Blues opt to rest another blueliner. Tucker is at seven points, 33 shots on net, 79 hits, 38 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 37 outings this season after logging just six points in 52 NHL games over the previous two years combined.

Blues' Tyler Tucker: Tallies pair of points
Rotowire
Tucker scored a goal, distributed an assist and blocked five shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
Tucker registered both of his points in 24 seconds. After scoring his goal just over nine minutes into the second period, he picked up a secondary assist on Dylan Holloway's goal moments later. Thursday's points were Tucker's first since he signed a two-year extension with the Blues at the end of February. He is up to six points, 51 hits and 31 blocks in 27 contests this season. The Blues have begun to showcase more trust in Tucker, who set a career high for games in a season with Thursday's appearance. With Colton Parayko out for an extended period of time with a knee injury, Tucker should remain in a third defensive pairing role.

Blues' Tyler Tucker: Inks two-year deal
Rotowire
Tucker signed a two-year, $1.85 million contract with the Blues on Friday.
Tucker's new deal gives him a modest raise to $925,000 per year after playing the last two seasons at an $800,000 salary. The 24-year-old has earned four points, 36 hits, 18 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 20 contests in 2024-25, but he sat out six of the seven games before signing his extension, serving as a healthy scratch since the Blues' defense is in good health.

Rotowire
Tucker (upper body) will not play versus Chicago on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Rotowire
Tucker scored a goal on two shots and added a fighting major penalty in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Utah.
Tucker opened the scoring 2:05 into the game and then fought Liam O'Brien right after the ensuing faceoff. The 24-year-old Tucker has two goals and two assists over his last five games, a rare stretch of productive offense for the third-pairing blueliner. That's all of his offense this season to go with 13 shots on net, 24 hits, eight blocked shots and 21 PIM over 13 appearances.

Blues' Tyler Tucker: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Tucker scored a goal on two shots, doled out five hits and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
The goal was Tucker's first point in nine outings at the NHL level this season. The 24-year-old defenseman has added seven shots on net, 16 PIM, 17 hits and a plus-2 rating while taking on third-pairing minutes in the ongoing absence of Nick Leddy (lower body). Once Tucker plays in one more game, he will have to pass through waivers if the Blues opt to send him back to AHL Springfield. His lack of offense makes him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Tucker posted a goal and an assist across 26 games during the 2023-24 season.
Tucker played exactly 26 games for the second consecutive season but averaged just 12:27 of ice time while firing 42 shots on net. He showed some promise as a third-pairing defenseman, but he's at risk of spending next season in the minors if the Blues sign an established blueliner in free agency.

Tucker has one goal, one assist, 10 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 27 hits in 15 games this season. He hasn't been in the lineup for the Blues since Dec. 21 against Florida, so he will get some playing time in the minors before returning to the big club.
