Tyler Tucker's story

Taken 200th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2018 draft, Tyler Tucker has moved steadily from junior ranks into a professional depth role. Born March 1, 2000, he developed his game in the Ontario Hockey League with the Barrie Colts, learning to balance defensive responsibilities with occasional offensive support. His first taste of pro hockey came at the end of the 2018–19 season when he signed an amateur tryout with the Blues’ then-AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, on April 7, 2019.

Tucker’s final junior season brought a midseason trade: on January 7, 2020, Barrie sent him to the Flint Firebirds. He finished that 2019–20 campaign with a personal-best 17 goals across 55 regular-season games, before postseason play was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those results preceded a longer commitment from St. Louis, which signed him to a three-year entry-level contract on March 3, 2020.

The pandemic-era roster shuffles shaped Tucker’s early pro years. For 2020–21 he was assigned to the Blues’ temporary AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, and tallied 7 points in 27 games while adapting to the professional schedule. He continued his AHL development and began the 2022–23 season with the Springfield Thunderbirds after another reassignment.

A strong start with Springfield — 7 points in his first 11 games — earned Tucker a recall to St. Louis. He made his NHL debut on November 16, 2022, skating on the club’s third pairing in a 5–2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. On the ice he is primarily a defense-first player who focuses on steady positioning and clean puck movement to help break the forecheck and support transitions.

Off the ice, he has a twin brother, Jesse, who plays in the ECHL with the Indy Fuel.
