Sundqvist notched an assist in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist set up Klim Kostin's first-period marker. Despite a bottom-six role, Sundqvist has picked up four assists in his last eight outings. The Swede is up to nine points in 29 games this season, matching his point total from last season. He's added 29 hits, 43 shots on net and a plus-7 rating in 2021-22 -- he's had a slight downturn in physicality but an overall stronger focus on offense despite playing less in a deeper offense.

Sundqvist logged an assist in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist has earned an assist in consecutive games for the second time this season after he set up Tyler Bozak's lone tally Monday. The 27-year-old Sundqvist is up to eight points, 39 shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-6 rating through 26 contests overall. He's earned three of his points in the last eight games, but he's still in a bottom-six role that's unlikely to lead to much offense.

Sundqvist logged an assist and blocked four shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist tied Torey Krug for the team lead in blocks in this contest, an impressive mark for the forward. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a repeat performance in that regard, as Sundqvist has just 14 blocked shots all season. The Swede has added seven points, 38 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-6 rating in 25 contests. While the Blues' offense remains pretty deep, Sundqvist's bottom-six role and limited offense will likely keep him off the fantasy radar.

Sundqvist scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist extended the Blues' lead to 3-1 in the second period. The Swede snapped his four-game point drought with the tally. He's been limited to a bottom-six role for much of the season, and he's picked up just five points, 30 shots on net and a plus-5 rating in 19 contests. His fantasy value is likely to be limited to deep formats unless he picks up the pace on offense.

EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist will not miss a third consecutive game as he has been deemed healthy in time for Saturday's contest with the Wild. The 27-year-old center has battled through injury and illness this season, but he will strive to reclaim his role in the Blues' middle six now that he's healthy again.

Sundqvist (not injury related) cleared the NHL's protocols and returned to practice Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist has been limited to just 16 games this season in which he generated one goal and three assists. The Swede should be in the mix for regular minutes, though may not be ready in time to play against Edmonton on Wednesday. If that's the case, St. Louis will need to elevate a player from the minors to fill out the lineup.

Sundqvist was added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist will need to submit two negative COVID-19 tests 24 hours apart before rejoining the Blues, so he'll miss Sunday's matchup with Winnipeg at a minimum. If Jordan Kyrou (upper body) remains unavailable, St. Louis may need to promote a player from its AHL affiliate to fill in against the Jets.

Sundqvist (knee) will be activated off long-term injured reserve and make his season debut Tuesday against Arizona, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist has yet to play this season while recovering from offseason knee and hip surgeries, but he'll slot into a bottom-six role for Tuesday's contest, centering Klim Kostin and James Neal on St. Louis' fourth line. The 27-year-old forward picked up nine points in 28 games last campaign.
