Rotowire
Parayko scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Milestone game and career pace
Rotowire
Parayko scored a goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Columbus.
It was Parayko's 700th NHL game, all with St. Louis. He's the third defenseman and eighth player to appear in as many games with the Blues. Parayko's average ice time is at an all-time high this season (24:32), and the defender is thriving as a minute muncher. He has two goals and five assists in his last six games, and his seven goals and 16 points in 41 appearances this season put him on pace for career highs in goals, assists and points. He'll also give you about 1.5 hits and almost 2.5 blocks per game, so Parayko is a solid play in deep leagues, as long as his lack of power-play production (no points) doesn't hurt.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Massive three-point game in win
Rotowire
Parayko scored twice and had an assist Saturday in a 4-2 win over Toronto.

Parayko has three goals and eight points in 12 games this season. If Philip Broberg (lower body) misses time, Parayko will chew up more minutes and power-play time.

Blues' Colton Parayko: Notches 10th assist
Rotowire
Parayko recorded an assist, two shots on net, two hits and two blocked shots across 24:06 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win versus the Kings.
Parayko posted at least 23 assists in each of the previous two seasons, but he's pacing to miss that mark by a wide margin this season with just 10 assists through 48 games. However, he has already scored eight goals, which is just two shy of his career high. His offensive output will be inconsistent as long as he's left off the power play, though he could fill in with the man advantage while Scott Perunovich (lower body) is out.
