Robert Bortuzzo News

Bortuzzo has not played since October 20th but will be back in the lineup tonight in Colorado. Bortuzzo, who will replace Jordan Schmaltz, has just one goal in five games this season.

Bortuzzo missed Tuesday’s game after suffering a lower-body injury in Toronto last Saturday. With Bortuzzo on IR, Jay Bouwmeester will remain in the Blues lineup going forward.

Bortuzzo scored a goal and played 17:46 TOI while replacing Jay Bouwmeester in the Blues lineup on Saturday, but suffered a lower-body injury in process. Bortuzzo returned to St. Louis to undergo some testing, so look for Bouwmeester to replace him in Winnipeg.

Bortuzzo has missed the last five games with a knee injury, but he is expected to play in Dallas this afternoon. Bortuzzo has just one goal and seven assists (eight points) in 55 games this season. He will likely replace Jordan Schmaltz in the lineup.

Bortuzzo was a healthy scratch in Buffalo on Saturday but will replace Tage Thompson in the lineup tonight vs. the Wild. Bortuzzo, who has just seven points (1G / 6A) in 50 games, will dress as a seventh defenseman so he might not see a lot of playing time.

Bortuzzo was in the lineup for the last two games, but will be replaced by Vince Dunn in the lineup tonight. Bortuzzo has just five points (1G / 4A) in 27 games this season and Dunn brings more offence to the table against a talented Stars team.

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.

Bortuzzo has appeared in the last eight games, but will be scratched for Carl Gunnarsson tonight. Bortuzzo has just one goal and two assists in 19 games this season.

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.

Bortuzzo was hurt in Saturday’s game vs. the Jets and has been moved to IR to create a roster spot to activate Joel Edmundson to take his spot in the lineup on Tuesday.

Bortuzzo was injured early in the third period of Thursday’s shootout loss to the Red Wings. Bortuzzo will miss 10 days, but Bortuzzo was in an out of the lineup anyways, so this isn’t a big loss for St. Louis.

Bortuzzo picked up just one shot on goal in 13:17 TOI in the Blues season opener on Wednesday. St. Louis is back in action tonight vs. the Wild, but Bortuzzo will sit and Carl Gunnarsson will replace him.
