Blues Lock Up Tucker with $1.85M Extension

The Blues hand defenseman Tyler Tucker a two-year deal worth $1.85 million, signaling Doug Armstrong's faith in the seventh-round steal from 2018. Tucker bounces between St. Louis and Springfield this season, racking up points and penalty minutes while battling for third-pair minutes against guys like Matthew Kessel. With his physical edge and versatility on both sides, this extension buys time for the 24-year-old to cement his spot in the NHL mix before the deadline chaos hits.
