The St. Louis Blues signed forward Dillon Dube to a one-year, $850,000 contract.
Dube spent last season with the Blues' AHL affiliate in Springfield.
The 27-year-old forward played in 46 regular-season games, scoring 20 goals and ranking fourth with 37 points.
He also had eight points in 12 Calder Cup playoff games, helping lead the team to the Atlantic Division Final.
Blues general manager Alex Steen said the team is big believers in internal competition and Dube's signing raises the bar.
Steen mentioned Dube's openness and sincerity about his past, and the team's decision to give him a second chance.
The Blues are currently on a W4 streak, with their last result being a win against the Utah Mammoth on April 16, 2026.
Dube will try to earn his way back into the NHL after being acquitted of sexual assault charges in July 2025.
He has played in 325 career NHL regular-season games with the Calgary Flames, scoring 57 goals and 70 assists.
The St. Louis Blues are 9th in the Western Conference with a 37-33 record, and Dube's signing could impact their lineup.
Dube's contract is a one-way deal, meaning he will be paid the same amount whether he plays in the NHL or AHL.
The Blues' coaching staff and players have shared positive experiences with Dube, and he is expected to compete for a spot on the team.
