Sundqvist (knee) was taken off injured reserve by the Blues on Wednesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist is far from a lock to suit up on a nightly basis even with his knee injury seemingly behind him. Still, with Robert Thomas (ankle) facing an extended stint on the shelf, Sundqvist could be pressed into service as soon as Thursday's matchup with Toronto. In 71 regular-season tilts last year, the Swedish center generated just 21 points and will be hard-pressed to provide significantly more offense in 2024-25.

Sundqvist (knee) has been cleared for contact but is not ready to return to the lineup, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist can be activated off the injured non-roster list as soon as he is ready, which seems to be sooner rather than later. Even once given the green light, the 30-year-old forward will likely have to settle for a bottom-six role and could even be a healthy scratch periodically.

Sundqvist (knee) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist sustained a torn ACL in March and was initially expected to be ready for Opening Night, but he'll need more time to recover before he's cleared to make his season debut. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action. Over 71 appearances with St. Louis last year, he tallied six goals and 21 points.

Sundqvist (knee) will take part in practices during training camp, but he isn't expected to participate in any preseason games, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Rutherford clarified a previous report from Wednesday, which stated that Sundqvist wouldn't participate in training camp. Sundqvist might still be available for Opening Night, but that remains to be seen. He had six goals and 21 points in 71 appearances with the Blues last season. If he isn't available for the opener against Seattle on Oct. 8, then perhaps Nikita Alexandrov will draw into the lineup after logging just 23 contests with St. Louis in 2023-24.

Sundqvist (knee) isn't expected to participate in training camp, but he should be fine for the start of the regular season, according to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist had six goals and 21 points in 71 games with St. Louis last season. The 30-year-old should open the season in a bottom-six role, provided he's healthy enough to play.

Sundqvist (knee) has resumed skating, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist suffered a torn ACL on March 25 and was initially projected to be reevaluated in six months. Seeing him back on the ice ahead of training camp is encouraging, but it remains to be seen if the 30-year-old forward will be ready for the regular season. He had six goals and 21 points in 71 contests last season.

Sundqvist is headed for surgery after sustaining a torn ACL in Monday's matchup with Vegas. He'll be reevaluated in six months.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist will be hard-pressed to be ready in time for the start of the 2024-25 season given the expected recovery timeframe. Prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old center was bogged down in a 15-game pointless streak on top of a 24-game goal drought. Fortunately for Sundqvist, he signed a two-year contest extension with the Blues on March 7, otherwise he'd be heading into the free-agent market with this injury hanging over his head.

Sundqvist is being evaluated for a lower-body injury Wednesday and will miss Thursday's game against Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist was hurt during Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to Vegas. He has six goals and 21 points in 71 contests this season. Zach Dean might draw into the lineup Thursday due to Sundqvist's absence.

Sundqvist signed a two-year, $3 million extension with the Blues on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist has six goals and 15 assists in 62 games this season, but he has been held off the scoresheet in his last six games. The 29-year-old has been seeing second-unit power-play time this season, scoring three times while adding two assists with the man-advantage.

Sundqvist recorded an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist dumped the puck off at the defense blue line to Alexei Toropchenko, who razzled and dazzled with an incredible between-the-legs move on the way to the game's first goal. Sundqvist is confined to a bottom-six role, but he's still producing at a decent clip with six goals and 13 assists through 51 games.
