Schenn was acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers in 2017 in exchange for center Jori Lehtera, who is no longer in the NHL, and two 1st-round picks.

In his first season with the team in 2017-18, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound forward logged a career-high 28 goals and 70 points. That performance earned him a trip to the All-Star Game.

He put up 54 points in the regular season last year and added 12 more in the postseason to help the Blues lift the Stanley Cup.
