Oskar Sundqvist, a player for the St. Louis Blues, suffered a lower-body injury late in Sunday’s team practice and is now considered week-to-week.
Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong provided an update on Sundqvist’s condition. “He won’t be playing obviously against Minnesota [on Opening Night] or on our (first) road trip,” Armstrong said. “I don’t think it’s serious, but it’s week-to-week.”
Armstrong also mentioned that Sundqvist was originally expected to be part of Thursday’s Opening Night lineup, but his absence will allow another player to step into the role.
“This isn’t something we’re concerned about (long term),” Armstrong reiterated. “I feel bad for him because he continually puts the work in, and one day his luck is going to turn the other way.”
