The St. Louis Blues acquired forward Corey Andonovski from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday in exchange for forward Mathias Laferriere.

Laferriere has 10 points (two goals and eight assists) in 33 games with the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds this season.

The 24-year-old from Montreal was drafted in the sixth round, 169th overall, by the Blues in 2018.

He has 70 points (21 goals and 49 assists) in 204 career games with Springfield.

Both players have yet to make their NHL debut.
