Impact Sundqvist has a goal and two assists in his last five games, after garnering only one assist in his previous 14 appearances. Mathieu Joseph will draw into the lineup in Sundqvist's place Friday.

Unavailable Friday Sundqvist (illness) will not be in the lineup versus the Senators on Friday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Provides helper in win Sundqvist notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
Impact Sundqvist has a goal and an assist over his last three games. The 30-year-old forward was scratched a couple of times earlier in December, but he's had steadier playing time while Radek Faksa battles a lower-body injury. Sundqvist has five points, 15 shots on net, 18 PIM, 25 blocked shots, 36 hits and a minus-4 rating over 26 contests. He's unlikely to improve on that scoring rate much, so he's not a strong option for fantasy.

Scores vs. Florida Sundqvist scored a goal in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Impact Sundqvist cracked the scoresheet for the first time since Nov. 25, when he recorded an assist in a 5-2 win over the Rangers, and this was his third goal of the campaign. Given his limited involvement on offense and the nature of his bottom-six role, Sundqvist isn't expected to have a prominent role in most fantasy formats. Through 24 appearances, he's recorded four points (three goals, one assist), 13 shots, 34 hits and 24 blocked shots while posting a minus-5 rating.

Barkov scores power-play goal late in OT, Panthers beat Blues 2-1

Chips in with assist Sundqvist notched an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact Sundqvist was a healthy scratch for two games recently, but he's played the last two contests. He's part of a bottom-six rotation of scratches that also includes Mathieu Joseph, Alexandre Texier and Zachary Bolduc, all of whom will be trying to impress new head coach Jim Montgomery. Sundqvist is at three points, seven shots on net, 24 hits, 12 blocked shots and 12 PIM through 14 appearances in 2024-25, giving him minimal upside for fantasy purposes.

Power-play goal in loss Sundqvist scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Sundqvist has two goals over his last four games, an improvement on the goose egg he put up over his first five contests of the season. The 30-year-old has been in the power-play mix as well, playing on the second unit. He has just three shots on net to go with 11 hits and seven blocked shots this season, and as a defensive forward, Sundqvist probably won't get a lot of good looks on offense.

Pots goal in win Sundqvist scored a goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.
Impact Sundqvist got on the scoresheet for the first time this season when he scored the game-tying goal at 7:57 of the second period on a rebound. The 30-year-old forward has added two shots on net, nine hits, three blocked shots, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating over six outings since he returned from a knee injury. Sundqvist has exceeded the 30-point mark just once in his career, so he's likely to fill a bottom-six role for most, if not all, of the campaign.

Blues rally after losing Dylan Holloway to injury to beat Lightning 3-2
Jordan Kyrou, Alexey Toropchenko and Oskar Sundqvist scored to help the St. Louis Blues beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2NOVEMBER 6, 2024
Used at wing Thursday Sundqvist had one hit and 11:49 of ice time in Thursday's 5-1 win over Toronto.
Impact This was Sundqvist's first game since March 25, when he suffered a torn ligament. He skated at wing on the third line with Dylan Holloway at the pivot. Sundqvist, normally a center, is easing his way back into the lineup and could shift to his normal position in the middle soon, per Jeremey Rutherford of The Athletic. Robert Thomas' lower-body injury made the club susceptible on faceoffs -- he was the team leader at the dot, winning 62.6 percent of the draws. Sundqvist will operate at both and wing and center for now, but he could help in the faceoff circle, where the Blues won just 32 percent of their draws against the Leafs.

Activated off injured reserve Sundqvist (knee) was taken off injured reserve by the Blues on Wednesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Sundqvist is far from a lock to suit up on a nightly basis even with his knee injury seemingly behind him. Still, with Robert Thomas (ankle) facing an extended stint on the shelf, Sundqvist could be pressed into service as soon as Thursday's matchup with Toronto. In 71 regular-season tilts last year, the Swedish center generated just 21 points and will be hard-pressed to provide significantly more offense in 2024-25.

Cleared for contact Sundqvist (knee) has been cleared for contact but is not ready to return to the lineup, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Monday.
Impact Sundqvist can be activated off the injured non-roster list as soon as he is ready, which seems to be sooner rather than later. Even once given the green light, the 30-year-old forward will likely have to settle for a bottom-six role and could even be a healthy scratchy periodically.

Lands on injured non-roster Sundqvist (knee) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
Impact Sundqvist sustained a torn ACL in March and was initially expected to be ready for Opening Night, but he'll need more time to recover before he's cleared to make his season debut. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action. Over 71 appearances with St. Louis last year, he tallied six goals and 21 points.

Joining practices Sundqvist (knee) will take part in practices during training camp, but he isn't expected to participate in any preseason games, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports Thursday.
Impact Rutherford clarified a previous report from Wednesday, which stated that Sundqvist wouldn't participate in training camp. Sundqvist might still be available for Opening Night, but that remains to be seen. He had six goals and 21 points in 71 appearances with the Blues last season. If he isn't available for the opener against Seattle on Oct. 8, then perhaps Nikita Alexandrov will draw into the lineup after logging just 23 contests with St. Louis in 2023-24.

Impact Sundqvist had six goals and 21 points in 71 games with St. Louis last season. The 30-year-old should open the season in a bottom-six role, provided he's healthy enough to play.

Starts skating Sundqvist (knee) has resumed skating, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Wednesday.
Impact Sundqvist suffered a torn ACL on March 25 and was initially projected to be reevaluated in six months. Seeing him back on the ice ahead of training camp is encouraging, but it remains to be seen if the 30-year-old forward will be ready for the regular season. He had six goals and 21 points in 71 contests last season.

Suffers torn ACL Sundqvist is headed for surgery after sustaining a torn ACL in Monday's matchup with Vegas. He'll be reevaluated in six months.
Impact Sundqvist will be hard-pressed to be ready in time for the start of the 2024-25 season given the expected recovery timeframe. Prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old center was bogged down in a 15-game pointless streak on top of a 24-game goal drought. Fortunately for Sundqvist, he signed a two-year contest extension with the Blues on March 7, otherwise he'd be heading into the free-agent market with this injury hanging over his head.

Dealing with lower-body injury Sundqvist is being evaluated for a lower-body injury Wednesday and will miss Thursday's game against Calgary.
Impact Sundqvist was hurt during Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to Vegas. He has six goals and 21 points in 71 contests this season. Zach Dean might draw into the lineup Thursday due to Sundqvist's absence.
