Blues activate former first-round pick Logan Brown

The St. Louis Blues have activated forward Logan Brown off injured reserve, according to The Athletic’s Jeremy Rutherford.

St. Louis acquired Brown before the 2021-22 season, making a one-for-one exchange with the Ottawa Senators for Zachary Sanford. Brown, the 11th overall selection in 2016, has 11 points in 44 games in St. Louis since the trade.

Brown missed more than a month with an upper-body injury, leaving a game on Nov. 8. He has suited up just five times in 2022-23, averaging under 10 minutes per game, and is without a point.

He’ll compete with players like Alexey Toropchenko and Nathan Walker to get back into the lineup, who’ve similarly not produced much offense in extremely limited ice time.
