Scandella recorded four hits, a shot on net and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
This was a particularly physical game for Scandella, who has posted 32 hits through 29 games. He doesn't provide much fantasy appeal with three points and 17 shots on net this season.

Scandella clocked five shots and dished out a hit in 14:20 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Scandella played a big role in helping keep the net clear Tuesday by bringing his season total for blocked shots to 24. Nonetheless, the 33-year-old blueliner is averaging a mere 13:46 of ice time this season and has just one point through 14 games, so he's not a viable fantasy option.

Scandella (lower body) will miss the remainder of the season, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scandella was limited to just 20 contests this season due to injury, picking up two points over that span. At this point it isn't clear if the 33-year-old defender will be ready for training camp in September.

Scandella (lower body) won't play Sunday against the Bruins, per Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Scandella departed Saturday's contest with a lower-body injury and will sit again Sunday. Rookie Matt Kessel would make his NHL debut in Scandella's place if Robert Bortuzzo is also unavailable. The 33-year-old Scandella has two points (a goal and an assist) and a plus-2 rating in 20 games this season.

Scandella scored a goal on two shots in the Blues' 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Scandella gave the Blues a 2-1 lead in the first period off a shot from the point that beat Magnus Hellberg. This goal was his first goal of the season and his second point in just his 14th game this year. He should continue to play in the Blues' top-four defensive core moving forward.

Scandella (hip) was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Scandella will be available to play Tuesday against Carolina and could return from a 56-game absence. He hasn't played yet this season after undergoing hip surgery Sept. 20. Scandella recorded 14 points, 76 shots on goal, 70 blocks and 106 hits in 70 games during the 2021-22 campaign.

Scandella (hip) has begun skating, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scandella is just under halfway through a six-month recovery timeline for hip surgery he underwent in September. The 32-year-old's activity is likely light, and there's been no indication that he's ahead of schedule.

Scandella will have hip surgery that will sideline him for at least six months, the team announced Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Scandella figures to be sidelined until late March at least given his recovery timeline. With the veteran defenseman sidelined, the duo of Niko Mikkola and Scott Perunovich figure to compete for the open spot on the blue line. Even once cleared to return, Scandella shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

EDGE Analysis
Scandella will get into the lineup for the first time since Game 4 of St. Louis' first-round series versus the Wild. The 32-year-old blueliner is expected to slot into a second-pairing role Wednesday.
