All three of the St. Louis Blues first-round picks from the 2023 NHL Draft are now in the NHL.

The Blues recalled forward Otto Stenberg and defenseman Theo Lindstein from Springfield of the American Hockey League on Monday, joining Dalibor Dvorsky.

Dvorsky has spent the majority of the season  in St. Louis, playing in 53 games (15 points; nine goals, six assists), and Stenberg had his first NHL stint in St. Louis prior to the Olympic break playing in 18 games (eight points; one goal, seven assists). 

This will be Lindstein's first call-up and first stint in the NHL having played in 56 games for the Thunderbirds (14 points; six goals, eight assists).

Dvorsky was the No. 10 pick in the draft, Stenberg was the 25th pick and Lindstein was selected at No. 29.

Stenberg has also played in 33 games with Springfield (15 points; four goals, 11 assists).

Rosters may now be unlimited after the NHL Trade Deadline and with the Blues making trades to ship out Brayden Schenn (New York Islanders) and Justin Faulk (Detroit Red Wings), as long as a team is cap-compliant, rosters can be unlimited.
