The Blues trimmed their training camp roster by five on Monday morning when they returned a handful of players to their junior teams.
They assigned forwards Antoine Dorion (Quebec in the QMJHL) and Adam Jecho (Edmonton in the WHL), and defensemen Lukas Fischer (Sarnia in the OHL) and Will McIsaac (Spokane in the WHL) to their junior clubs. The Blues also released goaltender Matthew Koprowski from his amateur tryout and returned him to Owen Sound in the OHL.
The Blues now have 53 on-ice participants remaining at training camp.
Among the junior-eligible players that remained at camp were Justin Carbonneau and Adam Jiricek.
Carbonneau (the team’s 2025 first-round pick) has a goal and an assist in the first two preseason games, and will report to Blainville-Boisbriand if he’s returned to junior hockey. Jiricek can be sent back to Brantford in the OHL, but is also AHL-eligible if the Blues choose to go that route and send him to Springfield.
The Blues did not practice on Monday and will return to the ice on Tuesday morning.
Joel Hofer started the game in goal for the Blues, and he allowed two goals on 15 shots during his two periods of action.
Last season, Broberg played top-four minutes for the entirety of the season, save for 14 games he missed due to injury, illness and personal reasons.
Sam Steel scored the game-deciding goal for Dallas in the first round of the shootout.
