Justin Carbonneau will play in his first prospect tournament for the Blues, as the 2025 first-round pick is one of five Blues first-round picks slate to play in next week's Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase in St. Paul, Minn.
The Blues will play the Wild prospects on Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. and the Blackhawks prospects on Sept. 13 at 6 p.m. The games will be streamed on the Blues website and on the Blues app.
The prospects will also practice at Centene Community Ice Center on Sept. 11 and 12, with both sessions beginning at 10 a.m.
Carbonneau, Adam Jirieck (2024), Dalibor Dvorsky (2023), Otto Stenberg (2023) and Theo Lindstein (2023) were all taken in the first round by the Blues, and all of them will play in the tournament. Zach Dean (2021 first-round pick by Vegas) will also be on the roster after missing most of last season with an injury.

Carbonneau wowed Blues management and onlookers during development camp in July with his snarl on pucks and stick-handling, and will play this season for Blainville-Boisbriand in the QMJHL. He turned down the opportunity to play collegiately for Boston College.
Jiricek, Stenberg and Lindstein will also be making their prospect tournament debuts. Jiricek missed last year's because of a knee injury, and Stenberg and Lindstein will both begin the season in North America for the first times in their careers.
Jimmy Snuggerud (2022 first-rounder) was not included on the roster. Snuggerud, 21, made his NHL debut in the spring, and is expected to play a role in the Blues top-six forward group this season.
