Texier logged an assist and three hits in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Jets in Game 4.
Texier has earned two shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating over his two playoff appearances. His spot in the lineup isn't safe -- Mathieu Joseph is in the mix as well, and both players could end up in the press box if the Blues' postseason run is long enough to allow Dylan Holloway (lower body) to return. After a regular season with just 11 points, 50 shots on net and 20 hits over 31 games, Texier has minimal scoring upside for fantasy.

Blues' Alexandre Texier: Slated to sit Monday
Rotowire
Texier (upper body) isn't expected to play versus Winnipeg on Monday, per Chris Pinkert of the Blues' official site.
Texier will miss his second straight game due to an upper-body issue. He has played in only four of the last 24 games because of injury, healthy scratches and an illness. Texier has six goals, 11 points, 50 shots on net and 20 hits across 31 appearances this season. Once healthy, it may be challenging for Texier to secure a spot in the lineup.
Texier won't play against Colorado on Saturday due to an upper-body injury, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Texier has only appeared in four of the Blues' last 23 games, serving primarily as a healthy scratch this year. Even once the 25-year-old center is given the all-clear, he could struggle to break into St. Louis' lineup on a nightly basis. Mathieu Joseph figures to step into the lineup since both Texier and Dylan Holloway (lower body) are on the shelf.

Rotowire
Texier scored a goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canadiens.

He was a healthy scratch for 11 contests from late February through most of March, but he's taking advantage of his opportunity now.

Blues' Alexandre Texier: Nets first goal since return
Rotowire
Texier tallied a power-play goal and had two shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Texier tallied a power-play goal in the first period to give him his first point since returning from a lingering illness. With the marker, the 25-year-old Texier has five goals, 10 points and 49 shots on goal in 29 appearances this season. Since his return, which also featured a stretch of 11 games as a healthy scratch, Texier has been featured on St. Louis' third line and second power-play unit. The Blues have been thriving offensively during their six-game winning streak, so Texier re-enters the lineup in an excellent position to make a late-season run in points. There are likely better names to look out for on the waiver wire, but keep an eye on Texier if St. Louis continues to shine on offense.

Still, the 25-year-old natural center was on the ice for Tuesday's game-day skate, which could be an indication he is nearing a return.

Blues' Alexandre Texier: Gets on scoresheet with goal
Rotowire
Texier scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over Utah.
Texier had been held off the scoresheet over his previous three games and scratched eight times in January.

He's at four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 26 appearances. Texier's inconsistent role and production make him a poor option for most fantasy managers.
