He is under contract with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League, showcasing his skills at the highest level of the sport.

Blais's journey in hockey began in the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League, where he played for the Trois-Rivières Estacades and Lévis Commandeurs. His talent quickly propelled him into the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, where he split his time between the Commandeurs and the Victoriaville Tigres before being selected in the sixth round, one hundred seventy-sixth overall, by the St. Louis Blues in the two thousand fourteen NHL entry draft.

After spending three seasons in the QMJHL, with a notable stint at the Charlottetown Islanders, Blais made his professional debut with the Chicago Wolves during the two thousand sixteen-seventeen season. His impressive performance helped the Wolves reach the postseason in his rookie year, paving the way for his NHL debut on October fourteenth, two thousand seventeen.

During his time with the Blues organization, Blais became known for his frequent movement between the San Antonio Rampage and St. Louis, leading to the playful nickname of the Sammy Blais Expressway among hockey pundits. His most significant achievement came in two thousand nineteen when he played a crucial role in helping the Blues secure their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.
