Sundqvist (undisclosed) will play in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Stars, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist will be ready for Opening Night versus the Capitals on Oct. 2. The 25-year-old had an excellent season in the bottom six last year, racking up 31 points in 74 games. He was a lineup fixture and will play a similar role this season, although he may be bumped out to wing since Ivan Barbashev and Robert Thomas have both showed promise in the middle.

According to coach Craig Berube, Sundqvist left Wednesday's practice early after "tweaking" something, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist won't suit up for Wednesday night's exhibition against the Capitals, but it doesn't sound like he's dealing with anything overly serious, so he could be ready to rock as soon as Friday against Winnipeg. At any rate, the 25-year-old forward, who notched 14 goals and 31 points in 74 games last campaign, isn't currently in any danger of missing the Blues' Oct. 2 regular-season opener against Washington.

Sundqvist signed a four-year deal worth $2.75 million annually with St. Louis on Sunday, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist played 74 games for the Blues last season, notching 14 goals and 17 points. Entering the 2018-19 campaign, he scored just nine points in 70 career contests. The 25-year-old also tallied four goals and nine points during St. Louis' Stanley Cup run. Sundqvist should continue working in a bottom-six role with the Blues.

Sundqvist wasn't issued a qualifying offer from St. Louis on Tuesday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
His failure to receive a qualifying offer means the Swede will become a free agent come July 1. Sundqvist enjoyed a career year in 2018-19, potting 14 goals and 31 points in 74 games with the Blues. The organization is loaded with young talent up front, which could be the reason they failed to retain Sundqvist. The 25-year-old will likely have a few suitors once he's officially a free agent.

Sundqvist failed to register a point in a 4-2 win over the Bruins on Monday in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist missed Game 3 because of a suspension but returned Monday and logged the most minutes of any Blues forward (19:32). The 25-year-old, despite going pointless, made his presence felt all night long, dishing out four hits in the win. He currently sits at nine points (4G, 5A) through 22 postseason contests.

Sundqvist has served his one-game suspension and will return to the lineup for Monday's Game 4 against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues will be happy to have Sundqvist back in their lineup Monday, as he's one of their best penalty killers, and the Bruins just racked up five power-play goals in Saturday's blowout 7-2 Game 3 victory. The 25-year-old Swede, who's notched four goals and nine points in 21 games this postseason, will likely center St. Louis' fourth line while at even strength during Game 4.

The NHL Department of Player Safety announced Thursday that Sundqvist will be suspended for one game for boarding Boston's Matt Grzelcyk during Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist leveled Grzelcyk from behind late in the first period, causing the Boston blueliner's face to violently smash into the glass. The hit didn't seem to originate from any malicious intent, but Grzelcyk was knocked out of the game. With Sundqvist facing a suspension for Game 3, Zachary Sanford may draw into the lineup for the first time since St. Louis' first-round matchup with Winnipeg.

Sundqvist will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety for boarding Boston's Matt Grzelcyk during Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist, who notched an assist while logging 15:24 of ice time in Game 2, leveled Grzelcyk from behind late in the first period, causing the Boston blueliner's face to violently smash into the glass. It didn't appear as though there was any malicious intent behind Sundqvist's hit, but he was assessed a minor penalty, and Grzelcyk was knocked out of the game, which will undoubtedly factor into the Department of Player Safety's ruling. If Sundqvist is issued a suspension for Game 3, Zachary Sanford may draw into the lineup for the first time since St. Louis' first-round matchup with Winnipeg.
