Blues send F Nick Bjugstad to Devils for F Thomas Bordeleau

The St. Louis Blues traded veteran forward Nick Bjugstad to the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday for forward Thomas Bordeleau and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2026.

Bjugstad, 33, had six goals and seven points in 35 games in his first season in St. Louis. The Blues signed him to a two-year, $3.5 million contract last July 1, and he can become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026-27 season.

The Florida Panthers selected Bjugstad with the 19th overall pick of the 2010 draft.
