Sundqvist recorded an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist got on the scoresheet for the first time since the season opener with his assist on Kyle Clifford's third-period marker. The 26-year-old Sundqvist hasn't seen top-six usage since his two-goal game on Jan. 13, which has limited his scoring chances while skating on the fourth line. The Swede has three points, 26 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in eight appearances.

Sundqvist scored twice on four shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Mike Hoffman (immigration) was unable to suit up for Opening Night, allowing Sundqvist to slot in on the second line alongside Robert Thomas. That partnership worked well, as Thomas assisted on both of Sundqvist's goals. The 26-year-old Sundqvist added three hits and four blocked shots, both of which were best on the team. The Swedish forward probably won't repeat that kind of effort often, but kudos if you took a chance on him in DFS.

Sundqvist had an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist picked up his first point in eight postseason outings with the lone helper on Brayden Schenn's goal. The 26-year-old Sundqvist has helped out in other ways with 14 hits and nine shots on goal, but it's been a mostly quiet postseason for the Swede. He had 12 goals and 23 points through 57 regular-season contests this year.

Sundqvist (undisclosed) rejoined his teammates on the ice for Monday's practice session, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist will be looking to break out of an eight-game pointless streak that plagued him at the end of the regular season. The winger is slated to fill a fourth-line role alongside Alexander Steen. While Sundqvist won't provide top-end fantasy value, he could be a sneaky value play in DFS contests, especially if he gets bumped up a line at some point.

Sundqvist exited Friday's practice early after crashing into the boards, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist tried to tough it out and stay on the ice after his spill, but he ultimately headed to the locker room, albeit under his own power. Due to the NHL's new injury update policy, another update on the 26-year-old forward likely won't be released until he's cleared to return to practice.

Sundqvist (undisclosed) is skating with the team Monday for the start of training camp, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist was hurt in the final game of the season against Anaheim on March 11 but appears to have gotten back to full health during the league's hiatus. The Swedish center figures to slot in as a third- or fourth-line center during the postseason. If he can stay healthy next year, the 25-year-old should be capable of pushing for the 30-point mark again.

The Swede is up to 21 points, 80 shots and a plus-2 rating through 46 appearances this year, mostly in a bottom-six role.
