Training camp is over, and the St. Louis Blues have submitted their 23-man roster to the NHL for the official start of the 2022-23 season.
The Blues roster currently features 12 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders. Defensemen Scott Perunovich (shoulder) and Marco Scandella (hip) will miss the start of the season due to long-term injuries.
New additions to the team this season are forward Noel Acciari and goaltender Thomas Greiss.
Because the Blues don’t play until Saturday, roster changes could still be made prior to the game.
The puck drops on Opening Night vs. the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com, and a pregame rally begins at 3 p.m. at Union Station and will feature live music and appearances by Blues Chairman Tom Stillman and Hockey Hall of Famer Al MacInnis. The pregame rally is free and open to fans with or without tickets to the game.
