Scott Perunovich

25-Year-Old DefensemanD
St. Louis Blues
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Perunovich likely would have been an NHLer in 2022-23 were it not for a shoulder surgery he underwent just before the start of the season. He was initially expected to miss six months but was able to return in four-and-a-half months instead, though he was limited to AHL action with Springfield, where he had 20 points in 22 games. He'll have a chance to win a job in training camp this fall, and he's got some appeal as a potential power-play option. Perunovich is already an offensive upgrade on Marco Scandella, though it'll likely be Perunovich's defense that determines if he sticks in the NHL. He's worth a look as a sleeper defenseman in most formats. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Blues in June of 2023.
Assists in consecutive games
DSt. Louis Blues
April 7, 2024
Perunovich notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reevaluation coming after break
DSt. Louis Blues
January 30, 2024
Perunovich will be out through the All-Star break, but he hopes to return Feb. 10 on the road against Buffalo. The 25-year-old was originally expected to be out longer than just the break, but he is in a walking boot now and will be evaluated immediately after the NHL's hiatus, per Lou Korac of NHL.com
ANALYSIS
Perunovich has had a nice bounce-back year thus far after missing all of last year because of an injury. The 25-year-old has recorded 12 assists this season, with six coming on the power play. He will look to help a Blues team that has surprised a lot of people this year -- St. Louis is currently sitting in a wild-card spot.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Peruonvich was passed up on in his first two years of draft eligibility. Teams were worried about his size. The 22-year-old reportedly stands at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds now, about the same size as Quinn Hughes. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, but Perunovich is an intriguing prospect with similar qualities. A two-time National Champion at Minnesota-Duluth, Perunovich stacked up 40 points over 24 games with the Bulldogs last year, winning the Hobey Baker Award, which is given to college hockey's most outstanding player. The 2018 second-round pick has the skills to make the team out of training camp, but a deep blue line stands in his way. If the AHL season continues to get pushed off and Perunovich keeps hanging around the NHL roster, his talent may force the Blues to provide him some game action.
