Rotowire
Sundqvist posted an assist, one shot on goal and one hit in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
The Blues traded Sundqvist to the Red Wings in March of 2022, and he spent last season with both the Wings and the Wild. However, he re-signed with the Blues this summer and has claimed a spot in the bottom six and as a top penalty killer. The 29-year-old posted a career-high 31 points in the 2018-19 season but has battled injuries ever since. He isn't expected to be a consistent fantasy contributor this year.

Wild's Oskar Sundqvist: Scores in return
Rotowire
Sundqvist scored a goal on three shots, levied four hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.
Sundqvist missed five games with a lower-body injury, and his 12:43 of ice time Wednesday suggests he was still being eased in. The 29-year-old got the Wild on the board at 16:11 of the first period. He was solid in 67 outings between Minnesota and Detroit in the regular season, posting 10 goals, 18 assists, 63 hits and 69 shots on net in a middle-six role. Without a clear path to power-play time, he'll likely struggle to generate offense in the postseason.
