Wade Megan and his perfect shooting percentage will return to St. Louis while Paul Stastny is out with a lower-body injury.

After placing centerPaul Stastnyon injured reserve Tuesday morning, the St. Louis Blues filled his roster spot later Tuesday, recalling centerWade Meganfrom the AHL Chicago Wolves. It’s likely that Megan will be in the Blues’ lineup Wednesday night when they face the Detroit Red Wings, eliminating the need to shift a wing such as Alexander Steen,Jaden Schwartz, orDmitrij Jaskininside to center.

While Megan is surely glad to be in the NHL, it’s highly likely that his elusive 100.0% career shooting percentage will drop during Wednesday night’s game. Megan scored on his first (and only) NHL shot during his NHL debut back on December 22. He was sent back to Chicago the next day and has not been back until now.

The 26-year-old center has 23 goals and 22 assists with a plus-14 rating in 50 AHL games this season. Those 45 points are good for fourth in the AHL, as he trails (among others) now-Blues teammateKenny Agostino.

It’s quite possible that Megan will center the fourth line betweenScottie UpshallandRyan Reaves–as he did during his NHL debut–in Wednesday’s game whileIvan Barbashevmoves up to center a third line withMagnus Paajarviand Kenny Agostino. It’s also possible, however, that Megan could see time on that Paajarvi and Agostino line, reuniting with two of his former Wolves teammates, if he ultimately suits up against Detroit.
