St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today that forward Aleksanteri Kaskimaki has been assigned to the Blues’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds.
Kaskimaki, 21, appeared in five games with the Blues during his recall. The Espoo, Finland native has also played 16 games for the Thunderbirds this season, tallying seven points (four goals, three assists). He was originally drafted by St. Louis in the third round, 73rd overall, in the 2022 NHL Draft.
