Bouwmeester will dress for Monday's contest in Winnipeg, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sunreports.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old defenseman was a healthy scratch Saturday versus Toronto. Bouwmeester's insertion into the lineup comes after Robert Bortuzzo (lower body) had to leave the team and fly back to St. Louis. A minus-4 and without a point in six games, Bouwmeester doesn't warrant much consideration for fantasy deployment.

Bouwmeester will be a healthy scratch against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Joshua Clipperton of The Canadian Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

One less veteran defenseman on the ice against what is arguably the league's top offense? That doesn't make much sense to us, but then again, the Blues really need to get Colton Parayko more playing time seeing as how the 2012 third-rounder has seen over a full-minute reduction in average ice time compared to last season's output.

Bouwmeester (hip) will gear up to play in Friday's preseason home game against the Blue Jackets, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester won't be a viable candidate for preseason DFS contests, as he's primarily viewed as a plus-defender with fading offensive skills. You'd have to go back to the 2013-14 season to see the last time he delivered more than 19 points over a given campaign.

Bouwmeester (hip) is "on target" to play in the Blues' Oct. 4 season opener against the Jets, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester still hasn't been cleared for contact, and it sounds like he'll be a limited participant for much of training camp, but he should be good to go once the games start to matter in October. Either way, there's no reason for fantasy owners to have the veteran defender on their radars, as he doesn't have enough offensive upside to be considered a viable option in most formats.

Bouwmeester (hip) has been practicing, albeit without contact, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initial reports out of St. Louis suggested that the veteran defenseman would be ready for the start of training camp, but that's looking like a less probable scenario based on how he's feeling with training camp only a week away. Should Bouwmeester require additional time to heal, Jordan Schmaltz could take advantage of additional opportunities to prove he belongs at the top level.

Bouwmeester, who missed the end of last season to a hip injury, will be ready for training camp with the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester went through surgery to fix his hip issue when he was shut down in March, and his return was expected before training camp. The 34-year-old defenseman missed the majority of his team's games for the first time in his NHL career, as his age seems to be affecting his "iron man" reputation.

Bouwmeester will miss the rest of the 2017-18 campaign due to a hip injury.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester was repeatedly excused from practice due to other lingering ailments, but this latest injury appears to be much more severe. The team didn't say whether the blueliner would require surgery, but put his recovery timeline at 4-6 months, which should have him ready for training camp. Jordan Schmaltz figures to slot into the lineup in Bouwmeester's absence.

Bouwmeester was forced out of Saturday's game against the Stars due to a lower-body injury, and he will not return.

EDGE Analysis

A playoff spot is hanging in the balance for the Blues, so they have to be hoping that Bouwmeester's injury isn't too serious. The veteran has been averaging over 20 minutes per game while operating primarily in a shutdown capacity. Consider him day-to-day ahead of Thursday's road game against the Sharks.

Bouwmeester (personal) will return to the lineup Thursday against the Senators, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester was a little late joining the team for Tuesday's matchup against Toronto due to the birth of his child back home, but he will return to the lineup Thursday to presumably play alongside Colton Parayko. Not much of a scoring threat, his return is unlikely to have a huge overall impact in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Bouwmeester will not draw into Tuesday's lineup due to a late arrival following the birth of a child, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouwmeester's absence is the result of having some travel issues that didn't allow him to make it into Toronto until shortly before the game, resulting in his absence from Tuesday's lineup. He should rejoin the lineup again Thursday against the Senators, though his two points (both in one game) over 16 contests this season leave him firmly off the fantasy radar in many formats.
