Bortuzzo is expected to be a healthy scratch on Friday.

Bortuzzo was a mainstay on the blueline while Jay Bouwmeester was out, but with Bouwmeester back and Carl Gunnarsson getting back in the lineup tonight, Bortuzzo will serve as a healthy scratch. The veteran defenseman has just one goal and four assists (five points) in 25 games this season.

The Blues have resigned Robert Bortuzzo to a two-year deal worth $2.3 million ($1.15M AAV).

Bortuzzo has appeared in 64 games with the Blues over the last three seasons, collecting just four goals and three assists. Bortuzzo has never been known for his offensive production, picking just 27 points (8G / 19A) in 177 career NHL games.

The Blues have acquired Robert Bortuzzo and a 7th round pick from the Penguins for Ian Cole.

The Blues acquired Zbynek Michalek earlier in the day, who is a shot blocking defensive defenseman, but he is recovering from a concussion right now so the Blues add Bortuzzo as insurance. Bortuzzo is an in-your-face physical defenseman who plays a relatively simple game.

Bortuzzo (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.

Bortuzzo has missed the last five games, but was on the ice for the Pens’ morning skate and could be back in the lineup tonight. He will take part in warmups and based on how his body reacts will determine if he plays tonight or not.

Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo has been suspended two games for his hit on Jaromir Jagr on Tuesday.

Bortuzzo’s hit was late and he also made contact with Jagr’s chin. Because Bortuzzo did not leave his feet on the hit, he got off with a relatively short suspension. Bortuzo is eligible to return next Monday in New York. Expect Brian Dumoulin to play in the two games in which Bortuzzo will be unavailable.
