Extras and rotating players

Lines and pairs are the disjoint groups with the most shared ice time, numbered by role: L1 is the trio whose players average the most even-strength plus power-play ice time per game, D1 the pair with the most total ice time. TOI share is the exact unit's time over the team's time at that strength. Confidence is how much of its players' own ice time the exact unit accounts for. CF% and GF% are on-ice shot-attempt and goal shares while the unit was out.

St. Louis Blues Line Combinations FAQ
Who is on the St. Louis Blues power play?
The St. Louis Blues power play units are determined by actual ice time data from recent games. Check the Power play units section above to see which players are currently on PP1 (the primary power play unit) and PP2 (the secondary unit) for the Blues. PP1 players typically get the most man-advantage ice time and have the best scoring opportunities.
Who kills penalties for the St. Louis Blues?
The Blues' penalty kill units are shown in the Penalty kill units section above. This data shows which forward pairs and defensive pairs spend the most time together when the Blues are shorthanded. Top PK players are valuable for fantasy hockey in leagues that count shorthanded points, blocks, and hits.
What are the current St. Louis Blues line combinations?
The St. Louis Blues line combinations shown above are calculated from actual NHL shift data, not projected lineups. Each forward line and defense pair is the group of players with the most shared ice time at 5-on-5, numbered by role (L1 is the trio that plays the most per game), and the confidence badge shows how settled that unit is. Tap Mates on any player to see everyone he shares the ice with.
How often are St. Louis Blues line combinations updated?
St. Louis Blues line combinations are updated daily based on the most recent game data. You can filter by game range (Last Game, Last 5, Last 10, Last 20, or Season) to see how line combinations have evolved over time. Recent data gives you the most current picture of how the coaching staff is deploying players.
Which St. Louis Blues players are seeing increased ice time?
Check the Line Watch panel for Blues players who moved up a line, joined PP1 or saw a jump in ice time compared with their previous five games. You can also compare the "Last Game" filter to "Last 10" or "Season": players with higher TOI recently may be getting promoted, while decreasing ice time could signal a demotion. This is valuable information for fantasy hockey waiver wire decisions.
Are St. Louis Blues injuries affecting the line combinations?
If the St. Louis Blues have injured players, you'll see an injury banner near the top of this page. Injuries to key players often create opportunities for other players to move up in the lineup or earn power play time. Check the injury status to understand why certain line combinations might look different than expected.
How does St. Louis Blues split power play time between PP1 and PP2?
Some teams give significantly more ice time to PP1, while others split it more evenly. The Power play units section shows each unit's share of the Blues power play time and each player's average PP TOI per game. If PP2 players are getting substantial ice time, they may have more fantasy value than PP2 players on other teams.
Who are the top St. Louis Blues fantasy hockey players based on line combinations?
For fantasy hockey, prioritize Blues players who appear on PP1 and play on the top lines at 5-on-5. Players on the first line who also appear on PP1 are getting the most opportunity. Look for defensemen who play both PP and PK for maximum peripheral stats (blocks, hits, shots).
