Carl Gunnarsson News

Gunnarsson has been sidelined since November 16th and was finally placed on IR to open up a roster spot. Jordan Nolan was recalled to fill that spot and likely a fourth-line role.

Gunnarsson missed Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Friday. Head coach Mike Yeo already ruled him out through this weekend, so look for Jordan Schmaltz to remain in the lineup for the time being.

Gunnarsson missed the first 10 games of the season, but will replace Jordan Schmaltz in the lineup on Thursday. Gunnarsson brings nearly no offence to the Blues lineup, so he’s best left on the waiver wire.

Gunnarsson’s activation means that he will be available to make his season debt on Thursday, but it remains to be seen if he will draw into the lineup or not. Over the last two seasons, Gunnarsson has just 15 points (5G / 10A) while averaging less than 15 minutes per game in 119 games with St. Louis.

Gunnarsson failed to pick up a point in two games with the Rampage during his conditioning stint. He returns to the Blues where he has failed to top 10 points for three straight years—just 24 points (8G / 16A) in his last 191 NHL games.

Gunnarsson has missed the first nine games of the season as he works his way back from offseason hip surgery. The Blues had ruled him out until November, so the veteran defenseman appears to be right on track in his recovery. He will stay on the conditioning stint through the weekend and could make his season debut with the Blues next week.

Gunnarsson suffered an ACL tear in his left knee during the first period of the Blues' 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday. He will undergo surgery once the swelling in his knee subsides and will be re-evaluated in six months.

The Blues want to get Gunnarsson back in the lineup after he has sat as a healthy scratch for the last two games, so he will suit up as a seventh defnseman. No other Blues defenseman warranted coming out, so Magnus Paajarvi will sit out up front.

Gunnarsson left Friday’s practice while blocking a shot but will play tonight vs. the Jets. Gunnarsson has just three goals and two assists (five points) in 28 games this season.

Gunnarsson has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, but will replace Robert Bortuzzo in the lineup tonight vs. the Kings. Gunnarsson has just three goals and one assist (four points) in 20 games this season.

Gunnarsson will be kept out of the lineup on Wednesday because he became a father this morning. With Gunnarsson out, Nate Prosser will make his Blues debut.

Gunnarsson has had a hard time sticking in the lineup, but will be back in the lineup for the third time in five games. He has just three assists in 31 games this season, but will replace Robert Bortuzzo tonight.

Gunnarsson has been a healthy scratch for the last seven games, but will replace Joel Edmundson in the lineup on Thursday. Gunnarsson has two assists and just 15 shots on goal in 29 games so far this season.

Gunnarsson is dealing with a lower-body injury that he suffered on Monday night vs. the Blackhawks. Gunnarsson will be replaced by Brad Hunt and is listed as day-to-day.
