• Blues' Scott Perunovich: Finally gets first career goal

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Perunovich scored a goal in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Capitals. It took until his 79th career game over parts of three seasons, but Perunovich is officially an NHL goal-scorer. The tally was the 26-year-old's first point in six appearances in 2024-25, as he's struggled to stay in the lineup. He's taken over a third-pairing role and a spot on the second power-play unit since Philip Broberg (lower body) sustained an injury in early November. Perunovich has added just two shots on net, seven blocked shots, four hits, four PIM and a minus-3 rating, so if he's going to be a factor in fantasy, he'll need to develop a stronger scoring touch.

• Blues' Scott Perunovich: Nets power-play goal in loss

  10/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Perunovich scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-2 preseason loss to the Blackhawks. Perunovich's best path to playing time at the NHL level will come from how productive he can be on the power play, so Saturday was a step in the right direction. How many chances he gets in that role remains to be seen, as Justin Faulk and Philip Broberg appear set to begin the campaign on the man advantage. Perunovich had 17 points, all assists, and six coming on the power play over 54 contests last season.
