St. Louis Blues Release Veteran Forward from PTO

The St. Louis Blues have released forward Tyler Pitlick from his professional tryout agreement:

Pitlick, 30, has played 325 NHL games for six teams, amassing just 89 points. Selected 31st overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 2010 -- the Taylor Hall draft -- Pitlick never reached the heights for which the Oilers had hoped. As such, he wouldn't play an NHL game until 2013-14, when he dressed in ten games for Edmonton, scoring just one goal.

Once his contract was up, that was all she wrote in Edmonton. Pitlick signed with the Dallas Stars in 2017, beginning his journey as an NHL suitcase. From 2018 to 2022, Pitlick dressed for the Stars, the Philadelphia Flyers, Arizona Coyotes, Calgary Flames, and most recently the Montreal Canadiens.

His release from St. Louis likely marks the end of his NHL career, but perhaps a minor-league option or even the European route open up for the Minnesota-native.
