The St. Louis Blues have recalled forward Matt Luff from the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds as the team continues to deal with a growing list of injuries up front.
The St. Louis Blues this morning brings back three players who spent the majority of the last season with their AHL affiliate the Springfield Thunderbirds.
The St. Louis Blues signed forward Matt Luff to a one-year, two-way contract through the 2025-26 season, according to PuckPedia. The deal is worth $775,000 in the NHL and $400,000 in the minors.
Three former Detroit Red Wings who have failed to find work for the 2024-25 season have at least secured what amounts to an NHL job interview. Matt Luff signed a PTO withe Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, while defensemen Gustav Lindstrom and Mark Pysyk secured the same pro tryout agreement with the Anaheim Ducks.
