Although Sundqvist (knee) is reportedly getting closer to day-to-day than week-to-week, he's still not expected to make his season debut for another week or two, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist has been practicing in a limited fashion over the past two weeks, but his surgically-repaired knee evidently still isn't ready for game action. Once cleared to play, Sundqvist, who picked up nine points in 28 games last campaign, should slot into a middle-six role for the Blues.

Sundqvist (knee) will travel with the Blues for the team's upcoming four-game road trip, but there's still no concrete timetable for him to make his season debut, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist began participating in practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, so he's definitely trending in the right direction, but at this point it isn't clear if he'll be available at any point during St. Louis' road trip. The 27-year-old forward, who picked up nine points in 28 games last campaign, should slot into a middle-six role once he's cleared to play.

Sundqvist (knee) participated in practice Wednesday, including penalty-killing drills and limited contact, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist isn't eligible to play until early November due to his placement on long-term injured reserve. The 27-year-old is recovering from a torn ACL suffered last March. While he's still at least multiple weeks away from a return, it's unclear where he'll fit into a deep forward group for the Blues once he's cleared to play.

Sundqvist (knee) will start the 2021-22 campaign on long-term injured reserve, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist had already been ruled out of the start of the regular season, but this news confirms the 27-year-old Swede will be forced to miss the Blues' first 10 games of the campaign at a minimum. Once healthy, Sundqvist, who's still recovering from offseason knee surgery, should slot into a bottom-six role for St. Louis.

Sundqvist (knee) isn't expected to be ready for the start of the season, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist has been on the ice for the first two days of St. Louis' training camp, but he hasn't participated in any battle drills. The 27-year-old forward is still recovering from the season-ending surgery he underwent in late March to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Once given the green light, Sundqvist will likely slot into a bottom-six role for the Blues.

EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee in late March, but his presence on the ice Thursday suggests he's on track to be ready for St. Louis' Opening Night matchup versus Colorado on Oct. 16. The 27-year-old forward picked up nine points through 28 games before going down with his knee injury last season.

Sundqvist (leg) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday, CapFriendly reports.

Sundqvist (knee) will require surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, and he is out for the rest of the year.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist will be reevaluated when training camp for the 2021-22 season opens, so his recovery is likely to take at least six months. The injury occurred during Friday's game versus the Sharks. With Sundqvist out, Dakota Joshua and Jacob De La Rose will be counted on to fill a fourth-line role. Expect Sundqvist to eventually surface on injured reserve. He finished the year with nine points in 28 games.

Sundqvist (leg) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Sharks, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist was injured in the first period of Friday's game versus the Sharks, so it's not surprising that he's unable to return just a day later. The severity of his injury is unknown at this point, but he needed help getting off the ice -- it's safe to assume he'll be out for more than just one game. The Blues' next contest is Monday in Vegas.

Sundqvist (leg) left Friday's game versus the Sharks in the first period, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist was pulling away from the crease when teammate Kyle Clifford's knee hit him in the back of the left leg. The 26-year-old Sundqvist needed assistance to get off the ice and did not return. It's unclear how significant the injury is, but he will likely miss Saturday's game in San Jose at a minimum. Dakota Joshua and Jacob De La Rose are the leading candidates to take Sundqvist's place in the lineup should he officially be ruled out.
