2024 Fantasy Outlook
Offseason surgery for a torn ACL could prevent Sundqvist from being ready for the start of the 2024-25 campaign. The surgery was performed in late March and he's set to be evaluated at the six-month mark. Still, even if the 30-year-old Swede is on the ice for the start of training camp, he likely will have plenty of rust to shake off considering he wasn't able to put in a full offseason program. The physical forward has reached the 30-point threshold just once in his nine-year NHL career, meaning he would be unlikely to hit that mark in 2024-25 even without the injury concern.

Being used in winger role

October 26, 2024
Sundqvist had one hit and logged 11:49 of ice time as a third-line winger in Thursday's 5-1 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Sundqvist played for the first time since suffering a torn ACL in his right knee against Vegas on March 25. Normally a center, he skated on the wing on the third line with Dylan Holloway as the pivot in Thursday's victory. Sundqvist is easing his way back into the lineup and could shift back to the middle soon, per Jeremey Rutherford of The Athletic. The absence of Robert Thomas (lower body) leaves the club susceptible on faceoffs -- he was the team leader at the dot, winning 62.6 percent of his draws. Sundqvist could eventually help in the faceoff circle, where the Blues won just 32 percent of the puck drops against the Leafs.

After posting 28 points in 67 games -- his best output since 2018-19 -- Sundqvist found his way back to St. Louis this summer. He split 2022-23 between Detroit and Minnesota, serving as a solid bottom-six option with both teams, though he also saw some unexpected power-play time with the Red Wings. The veteran forward may not get time with the man advantage as he begins his second stint with the Blues, and at this point, there's not much growth to expect in his offense. He'll likely land in the 25-30 point range with modest physicality and poor shot totals, numbers that won't play in most fantasy formats.
Sundqvist posted 12 goals and 11 assists over 57 games last year, marking the second straight season that he hit double digits in each category. The 26-year-old rarely escapes the bottom six, let alone the fourth line. But the Swedish center is a strong defender and one of the team's best penalty killers. Sundqvist is a lineup fixture this season, just not for fantasy purposes.
The 25-year-old was a healthy scratch 40 times during the 2017-18 campaign and was effectively written off as an AHL player. However, Sundqvist made major strides during the summer and recorded 31 points in 74 games during the regular season while becoming one of the team's most effective penalty killers. Sundqvist's stellar two-way play earned him a four-year, $11 million contract, and the Blues will likely keep him toiling in a middle-six role for the upcoming season. The past season is a major source of confidence for Sundqvist, but 35 points is likely his ceiling, so he's better suited for daily fantasy play rather than season-long formats.
Sundqvist's first season with the Blues was difficult, as he only played 42 games and averaged 10:29 of ice time. The 24-year-old center was able to generate one goal and four helpers in those outings, but his development would've favored a full-time role with AHL San Antonio. Instead, he logged only six games with the minor-league club, notching six points. With the Blues bringing in two more pivots this offseason and prospect Robert Thomas expected to make the team, Sundqvist will struggle for NHL minutes again.
Sundqvist may be stepping into a favorable role in The Lou. With Patrik Berglund (shoulder) out until December, he was likely to compete with Robby Fabbri (knee) for the third-line center role, but Fabbri is out for the rest of the season. Therefore, Sundqvist will rotate in on the third line along with younger prospects to see if he can stick. There's a lot up in the air for the Blues, so keep an eye on them to see if Sundqvist will be called on for the long term.

March 20, 2024
Sundqvist is expected to be scratched Thursday versus the Senators, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not unwarranted, as Sundqvist has gone 13 games without a point and has added very little else to the equation in that time. The 29-year-old hasn't missed a game yet this season, but with the Blues in the playoff race, they'll need everyone in the lineup to be performing at an acceptable level.
