The St. Louis Blues have announced that defender Cam Fowler signed A three -year contract extension of $ 18.3 million With an average annual value of $ 6.1 million.
Fowler, 33, was traded Last season, in December 2024, by the Anaheim Ducks to the Blues with a pick of the Ducks in 2027 Ducks in exchange for defender Jeremie Biakabutuka and a second round pick of 2027 Blues. Fowler would also be an unlimited free agent (UFA) during the low season of 2026.
Fowler is locked up until 2028-29
Although the contract seems short, Fowler is close to the end of his career, so it is no surprise that he has signed a shorter deal. After he had taken over him last season, the blues hit the jackpot while suddenly turned his performance up with 36 points in 51 games with the blues. A significant improvement of his 17 games with the Ducks last season, where he only recorded four points.
Fowler played a greater role for a blues schedule that sustained a considerable loss of injury on their defensive core in Torey Krug before the 2024-25 season. His efforts helped the blues on their huge 12 game Win Streak, who pushed them into the play-offs after two seasons of no play-off hockey.
During the NHL play-offs of 2025, Fowler ended with a team of leading 10 points in seven games in the first round matchup of the Blues against the Winnipeg Jets. However, it was not enough because the blues lost in a double overtime game 7.
Fowler was the only UFA among the top four defenders of the blues who would become a free agent in 2026.
