The St. Louis Blues could get an injection of youth come the playoffs.

Robby Fabbri and Ivan Barbashev, a pair of 2014 draft picks, are expected to join the club when their respective junior teams are eliminated from the postseason, according to Tom Timmerman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Fabbri, drafted 22nd overall, is playing with the OHL's Guelph Storm, who are in tough in a second-round series against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.

He missed a good part of the season due to a knee injury suffered at the World Junior Championship, but recorded 25 goals and 26 assists in 30 regular-season games.

Barbashev scored 45 goals and added 50 assists in 57 games for the QMJHL's Moncton Wildcats after being selected 33rd overall by the Blues. He and the Wildcats are set to begin their second-round series against Halifax, with a better chance of extending the season than Fabbri's Storm.

The young pair would likely join the Blues as "black aces," extra players who practice with the team and are ready to step in as injury replacements.
