Mammoth's Scott Perunovich: Hits waivers Thursday
Perunovich was placed on waivers by the Mammoth on Thursday.
Perunovich split time between the Blues and Islanders last year but joined the Mammoth on a one-year, two-way contract during the offseason. The 27-year-old was unable to land a spot on Utah's Opening Night roster, and he'll head to AHL Tucson if he clears waivers. However, he's made at least 35 regular-season appearances in the NHL in each of the last two campaigns, so he'll likely be a top candidate to be called up if the Mammoth need additional depth.

Mammoth's Scott Perunovich: Lands two-way deal
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
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
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
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
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
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.

Islanders' Scott Perunovich: Acquired for fifth-round pick
Perunovich was brought in via trade by the Islanders on Monday from the Blues in exchange for a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick.
Perunovich's acquisition comes on the heels of both Noah Dobson (lower body) and Ryan Pulock (upper body) going on injured reserve over the last week. The Isles already attempted to bolster their blue line by bringing in Tony DeAngelo but now also have Perunovich as a seventh healthy option. The 26-year-old defenseman had been struggling to get into the lineup for the Blues, serving as a healthy scratch in 13 of the club's last 15 contests. That doesn't seem likely to change with the Islanders, though Perunovich could challenge Dennis Cholowskifor minutes.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Struggling to stay in lineup
Perunovich suited up for the first time in five games in Friday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
Perunovich was scratched seven times in 14 games in December. Justin Faulk (undisclosed) was unavailable Friday, allowing Perunovich to draw in on the third pairing. He has gone seven games without a point, so he hasn't helped his cause to stick in the lineup. Perunovich has two goals, four helpers, nine shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 23 appearances this season.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Dishes two assists in win
Perunovich posted two assists and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Perunovich was scratched Saturday versus the Flyers, but he got back into the lineup due to the absence of Justin Faulk (upper body). This was one of Perunovich's better efforts of the season, though he also saw just 11:10 of ice time in a third-pairing role. He's up to two goals, six points, five shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 16 appearances. The lack of ice time is a concern, and if that doesn't improve, his fantasy appeal will be limited to deeper formats.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Deposits goal Tuesday
Perunovich scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
Perunovich has taken advantage of steadier playing time, earning three points over his last six games while filling a top-four role with some power-play time. The 26-year-old blueliner was held off the scoresheet in his first five appearances this season, so it's good to see him make some progress on offense. Overall, he has two goals, one assist, five shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across 11 outings.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Snags helper in overtime win
Perunovich logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Perunovich helped out on a Radek Faksa tally in the first period. Both of Perunovich's points this season have come over the last four games as he finally looks to be finding his way on offense. A larger role helps -- the Blues are without the services of Philip Broberg (lower body), Nick Leddy (lower body) and Pierre-Olivier Joseph (lower body) at this time, decimating the left side of the team's defense. Perunovich has added four shots on net, 12 blocked shots, six hits and a minus-1 rating over nine outings.

Blues' Scott Perunovich: Finally gets first career goal
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
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
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
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
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.
