Gunnarsson (upper body) remains day-to-day, but he'll resume skating in the next couple of days, per Blues coach Ken Hitchcock.

EDGE Analysis

The team should get a better read on Gunnarsson's progress once he's evaluated at the skate, but this latest development all but rules out the defenseman for Friday's home match against the Bruins. A shutdown extraordinaire, Gunnarsson has missed the past two games, yet there's no sense of rushing him back since the Blues have already secured a spot in the postseason.
