Edmundson said he wants to get through tomorrow’s morning skate before making a decision but it looks like he will play. Vince Dunn is expected to sit for Edmundson, meaning that Alex Pietrangelo will move to the top power-play and Colton Parayko on the second. Edmundson had 17 points (7G / 10A) in 69 games a season ago.
Edmundson missed the Blues preseason finale with a groin injury and it doesn’t appear as if he will play in their season opener either. If Edmundson is unable to play, look for Chris Butler to get into the Blues lineup.
Edmundson is nearing his return to the Blues lineup, but he isn’t ready to go this afternoon in Los Angeles. With Edmundson still out, Jordan Schmaltz will remain on the third pairing.
Edmundson has been sidelined since November 6th, but will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Canadiens. Robert Bortuzzo has been moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Edmundson to be activated. Edmundson has one assist in 13 games this season.
Edmundsson will become a healthy scratch with Robert Bortuzzo being reinserted into the Blues lineup on Monday.
