The St. Louis Blues have announced that defenseman Cam Fowler signed a three-year, $18.3 million contract extension 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 2027 Ducks fourth-round pick in exchange for defenseman Jeremie Biakabutuka and a 2027 Blues second-round pick. Fowler would also be an unrestricted free agent (UFA) during the 2026 offseason.

While the contract seems short, Fowler is close to the end of his career, so it is no surprise that he signed a shorter deal. However, after acquiring him last season, the Blues hit the jackpot as he suddenly turned his performance upward with 36 points in 51 games with the Blues. A significant improvement from his 17 games with the Ducks last season, where he only recorded four points.
Fowler took on a bigger role for a Blues roster that suffered a significant injury loss to their defensive core in Torey Krug before the 2024-25 season. His efforts helped the Blues on their massive 12-game win streak, which pushed them into the playoffs after two seasons of no playoff hockey.
During the 2025 NHL Playoffs, Fowler finished with a team-leading 10 points in seven games in the Blues’ first round matchup against the Winnipeg Jets. However, it was not enough as the Blues lost in a double overtime Game 7.
Fowler was the only UFA among the Blues’ top four defensemen who was due to be a free agent in 2026.
