Mammoth's Scott Perunovich: Picks up three assists for Tucson
Rotowire
Perunovich recorded three assists in AHL Tucson's 5-4 win over Henderson on Saturday.
Perunovich has displayed quality scoring with nine goals and 40 helpers over 64 outings this season. That includes two goals and 11 assists over his last 11 contests. The 27-year-old's scoring ability hasn't translated to the NHL, and at this point, it's not clear when he might get another chance at hockey's highest level.

Mammoth's Scott Perunovich: Joins NHL club
Rotowire
Perunovich was summoned from AHL Tucson on Saturday.
Perunovich had two goals, seven assists, 18 shots on net, 15 hits and 37 blocked shots between the Blues and Islanders across 35 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, but he has yet to see NHL action this season. He has registered three goals and 30 points in 43 AHL appearances this campaign.

Mammoth's Scott Perunovich: Lands two-way deal
Rotowire
Perunovich inked a one-year, two-way contract with Utah on Tuesday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
Perunovich played in just 35 combined games for the Blues and Islanders last year in which he notched two goals and seven helpers. A change of scenery should do the Minnesota native some good, though he may have to spend some time in the minors this season, given the two-way nature of his new deal.

Islanders' Scott Perunovich: To become unrestricted free agent
Rotowire
Perunovich was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Islanders on Monday and will become an unrestricted free agent, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
It looked like the Blues might have had something in Perunovich during his rookie season in 2023-24, when he posted 17 assists in 54 games. However, last year, he became a regular healthy scratch with the Blues, was traded to the Islanders and then ended the season as a regular healthy scratch in Long Island. Now, after being cut loose by New York, the 26-year-old will be looking for a new home in free agency to continue his career.

Islanders' Scott Perunovich: Gets rare appearance Tuesday
Rotowire
Perunovich played in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals.
Perunovich drew in for Alexander Romanov (illness) in the penultimate game of the season. The 26-year-old Perunovich had been scratched for the previous 23 contests. He's a pending restricted free agent heading into the summer, and it's unclear if the Islanders are interested in keeping him around. He's produced nine points, 18 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 33 appearances between the Islanders and the Blues, but Perunovich's skill set was a bit redundant on a team that also rostered Tony DeAngelo and Adam Boqvist in the second half of the campaign.

Islanders' Scott Perunovich: Stuck in press box
Rotowire
Perunovich was scratched for the eighth straight game in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Perunovich played nine straight games and earned three assists after being traded to the Islanders from the Blues in late January. However, the Islanders' defense corps has gotten healthier since then -- only Adam Boqvist (upper body) is currently dealing with an injury. That still leaves eight healthy blueliners available, and it appears Perunovich is on the bottom rung of the ladder, with Scott Mayfield getting the first chance to replace Boqvist. Perunovich has nine points, 18 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in 33 appearances this season. There's no guarantee he will play regularly down the final stretch.

Islanders' Scott Perunovich: Dishes assist Saturday
Rotowire
Perunovich accounted for an assist, two PIM, one shot on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in 24:39 of ice time in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Minnesota.
Perunovich utilized his offensive ability when he single-handedly set up Anders Lee's 23rd goal of the season at 7:17 of the middle frame. Perunovich has earned three helpers over seven outings with the Islanders since being acquired in a trade from the Blues on Jan. 27. The left-shot blueliner's mobility has been a welcome addition for a club that is riddled with injuries on the back end. Perunovich's 24:39 of ice time Saturday was a season high, and considering his power-play role on the second unit, the 26-year-old makes for a speculative add in formats that prioritize scoring -- he doesn't provide many hits, blocked shots or PIM.

Islanders' Scott Perunovich: Earns helper in team debut
Rotowire
Perunovich notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Perunovich has a chance at a fresh start after exhausting his opportunities with the Blues, which resulted in him being traded to the defense-needy Islanders. His tenure with his new team is off to a positive start -- he logged 18:52 of ice time in a third-pairing role in his team debut. Perunovich should play regularly while Noah Dobson (lower body) and Ryan Pulock (upper body) are out. Perunovich has seven points, 11 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 25 appearances this season.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Finally gets first career goal
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
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.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Inks one-year contract
Rotowire
Perunovich signed a one-year, $1.15 million contract with St. Louis on Tuesday.
Perunovich produced 17 assists, 36 shots on goal, 53 blocked shots and 30 hits in 54 games with the Blues during the 2023-24 campaign. The 25-year-old defender doesn't have a goal in 73 career NHL appearances. If Perunovich can remain healthy, he should be a regular on the St. Louis blue line during the 2024-25 season.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Assists in consecutive games
Rotowire
Perunovich notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
Perunovich helped out on a Pavel Buchnevich tally in the second period. With an assist in each of the last two games, Perunovich has bounced back well from beginning April as a healthy scratch for two contests. The 25-year-old defenseman has 17 points (all assists) with 33 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 50 appearances this season, playing mainly on the third pairing while also seeing power-play time.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Activated off IR
Rotowire
Perunovich (lower body) has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game versus the Islanders, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.
Perunovich has missed the last seven games, but he'll return to the lineup versus the Isles. Perunovich will pair up on the third unit with Marco Scandella and quarterback the second power play. Perunovich has 12 assists in 31 games this season. In a corresponding move, the Blues sent Calle Rosen to the minors.

Perunovich (lower body) was put on injured reserve Tuesday.
Perunovich, who has missed the past seven games, can be activated when he's ready to return. However, a timeline for his recovery has not be provided. Perunovich has 12 assists, 23 shots on goal and 28 blocked shots in 31 appearances this campaign.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Considered week-to-week
Rotowire
Perunovich (lower body) has been labeled week-to-week by coach Drew Bannister on Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Based on his designation, Perunovich will be out of action for at least the Blues' upcoming three-game road trip, though it could certainly be longer. Prior to getting hurt, the 25-year-old blueliner was rolling offensively with five assists in his last six contests, including four with the man advantage. Having said that, helpers will be the primary source of any upside from Perunovich considering he has yet to score a goal in 50 career NHL outings.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Exits Sunday's game
Rotowire
Perunovich (lower body) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Kings.
Perunovich registered two assists, including one on the power play, in 16:14 of ice time prior to leaving the contest. It's unclear at this time if he will be available to play Tuesday versus Columbus. The Blues may opt to give him more time to recover during the All-Star break.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Provides power-play assist
Rotowire
Perunovich notched a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Perunovich set up a Robert Thomas tally in the second period. This was Perunovich's third helper in his last five games, though he was also scratched twice in that span. The 25-year-old should be able to hold down a third-pairing role with a spot on the first power-play unit as long as Justin Faulk (undisclosed) is out. Perunovich has 10 points, all assists, through 30 games this season while adding 23 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Assists on both goals in win
Rotowire
Perunovich dished out two assists in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
Perunovich logged just 12:17 of ice time but managed to make a big impact with assists on both of the Blues' goals to help the team win its third straight game. The 25-year-old is skating on the third pairing and the second power-play unit when he's in the lineup, but he was a healthy scratch in four of the last six games. Until he cements himself in the lineup and picks up some more ice time, he won't be worth much fantasy consideration.
