Bouwmeester had two assists, three hits and two shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets in Game 2 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old blueliner is not a noted point producer at this stage of his career, after taking just 17 points in 78 regular-season games. He also only had six assists in his previous 50 playoff contests. Bouwmeester's unexpected burst of offense likely won't continue, but with four hits and blocked shots apiece, he may have a little fantasy value during the postseason.

Bouwmeester signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract extension with the Blues on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester has been a mainstay on the St. Louis blueline, skating in an average of 20 minutes per game each of the past six seasons. He also produced his best offensive output in the past three campaigns, accumulating 17 points in 78 games. Bouwmeester will continue to add toughness for the Blues, especially in the playoffs, and racked up 61 hits and 127 blocks this season.

Bouwmeester recorded 25:07 TOI and blocked four shots in Saturday's win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester's pairing with Colton Paryko forms a solid blend of defensive and offensive potential, leading to these massive minutes. The veteran blueliner is still far from the fantasy realm with just 15 points in 71 games, but he has contributed with 57 hits and 118 blocked shots.

Bouwmeester notched two assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

He helped set up Vladimir Tarasenko's first two goals of the afternoon, giving Bouwmeester his first multi-point game of the season and ending an eight-game scoring drought. The veteran blueliner hasn't compiled more than 19 points in a campaign since 2013-14, and with two goals and 12 points through 50 games this year, his fantasy value is once again minimal.

Bouwmeester fired one shot on goal during 21:42 TOI in Monday's loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

After offseason hip surgery, Bouwmeester was eased into action by averaging just 18:38 TOI through the first 20 games, posting just two assists and an unimpressive minus-10 rating. Since Dec. 1, the veteran blueliner has been given extra responsibility with 21:00 TOI, two goals and six assists in the last 24 games. Bouwmeester's still not a consistent enough scorer to be well-regarded in the fantasy realm.

Bouwmeester has 12 blocked shots over the last four games.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester's offensive days are long gone, as he has just two assists in 18 games this year. Although he's struggled defensively with a minus-9 rating, Bouwmeester can make himself useful if he keeps putting his body in front of the rubber.

Bouwmeester (hip) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against Chicago, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester has been a scratch for the Blues' last three games due to a nagging hip issue, but it appears that time off has allowed him to heal up enough to gut it out against the Blackhawks. The veteran blueliner may be in and out of the lineup throughout the season while continuing to nurse his injury, and he already has very little offensive upside, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to have him on their radars.

Bouwmeester (hip) will not suit up for Sunday afternoon's contest against Minnesota, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester is still working on recovering from his offseason hip surgery and has just two assists in 11 games this year. The Blues next game will be Wednesday against the rival Blackhawks, but there's no guarantee that the 6-foot-4 blueliner will be ready.

Bouwmeester (hip) isn't expected to play Friday against the Sharks, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester is still recovering from offseason hip surgery, so the Blues will likely keep him out of the lineup until they're confident that he's back to 100 percent. Another update on the 35-year-old blueliner's status should be released once he's deemed fit to play.

Bouwmeester is not fully recovered from offseason hip surgery, so he'll sit out Tuesday's home game against the Hurricanes, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester has played in 11 of 12 games so far this season, averaging 19:30 of ice time. That's a good amount of rink run for the 35-year-old defenseman, but he was iced for only 14:29 against the Wild on Saturday, and that tied the fewest amount of minutes he's seen all season. With just two helpers representing his point total over 11 games combined with the latest news that he's still bothered by the hip injury, Bouwmeester's completely off the map in the fantasy realm.
