Top Marco Scandella News

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Dishes out four hits

    Scandella recorded four hits, a shot on net and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Lightning.

    This was a particularly physical game for Scandella, who has posted 32 hits through 29 games. However, he doesn't provide much fantasy appeal with just three points and 17 shots on net this season.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Blocks five shots in win

    Scandella clocked five shots and dished out a hit in 14:20 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Lightning.

    Scandella played a big role in helping keep the net clear Tuesday by bringing his season total for blocked shots to 24. Nonetheless, the 33-year-old blueliner is averaging a mere 13:46 of ice time this season and has just one point through 14 games, so he's not a viable fantasy option.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Starts camp on time

    Scandella (lower body) was on the ice for Thursday's first practice session at training camp, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

    Scandella played in just 20 games last season, and he's reached 70 games played just once in his last five campaigns. Nonetheless, the 33-year-old blueliner should be in contention for a third-pairing role during training camp.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Done for the year

    Scandella (lower body) will miss the remainder of the season, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Scandella was limited to just 20 contests this season due to injury, picking up two points over that span. At this point it isn't clear if the 33-year-old defender will be ready for training camp in September.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Out Sunday

    Scandella (lower body) won't play Sunday against the Bruins, per Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

    Scandella departed Saturday's contest against Nashville with a lower-body injury and will sit again Sunday. Rookie Matt Kessel would make his NHL debut in Scandella's place if Robert Bortuzzo (upper body) is also unavailable. The 33-year-old Scandella has two points (a goal and an assist) and a plus-2 rating in 20 games this season.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Suffers lower-body injury

    Scandella sustained a lower-body injury Saturday against Nashville and won't return to the game.

    Scandella had a minus-1 rating in 10:28 of ice time prior to leaving the contest. An update on his status will likely come before Sunday's home matchup with Boston.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Scores first of season

    Scandella scored a goal on two shots in the Blues' 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday.

    Scandella gave the Blues a 2-1 lead in the first period off a shot from the point that beat Magnus Hellberg. This goal was his first marker and second point in just 14 games this year. He should continue to play in the Blues' top-four defensive corps moving forward.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Ready to return

    Scandella (hip) was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday.

    Scandella will be available to play Tuesday against Carolina and could return from a 56-game absence. He hasn't played yet this season after undergoing hip surgery Sept. 20. Scandella recorded 14 points, 76 shots on goal, 70 blocks and 106 hits in 70 games during the 2021-22 campaign.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Has resumed skating

    Scandella (hip) has begun skating, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

    Scandella is just under halfway through a six-month recovery timeline for hip surgery he underwent in September. The 32-year-old's activity is likely light, and there's been no indication that he's ahead of schedule.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Facing six-month absence

    Scandella will have hip surgery that will sideline him for at least six months, the team announced Tuesday.

    Scandella figures to be sidelined until late March at least given his recovery timeline. With the veteran defenseman sidelined, the duo of Niko Mikkola and Scott Perunovich figure to compete for the open spot on the blue line. Even once cleared to return, Scandella shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Back at it

    Scandella (lower body) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's must-win Game 5 against the Avalanche, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Scandella will get into the lineup for the first time since Game 4 of St. Louis' first-round series versus the Wild. The 32-year-old blueliner is expected to slot into a second-pairing role Wednesday.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Remains unavailable

    Scandella (lower body) will once again be on the shelf for Monday's Game 4 clash with Colorado.

    Scandella will be unavailable for his sixth consecutive contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. With Torey Krug (lower body) still hurt, the team will continue giving big minutes to Justin Faulk, Colton Parayko and Nick Leddy.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Out again Saturday

    Scandella (lower body) is not in the lineup in Saturday's Game 3 versus the Avalanche, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Scandella has been practicing lately, but he remains out of action as he works to get back to fitness. The 32-year-old's absence means Scott Perunovich will likely continue to serve as the seventh defensemen in the lineup.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Not ready to return

    Scandella (lower body) is skating with the team but won't be in the lineup versus Colorado on Thursday after coach Craig Berube told reporters, "He's out there skating with us. He's going to have to make a decision at some point when he thinks he's ready to play and he'll play," Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Based on the comments, the final decision will be made by Scandella, at which point he figures to be reinserted into the lineup. In the meantime, the Blues will continue to roll seven defensemen including Niko Mikkola and Scott Perunovich.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Remains out to start Round 2

    Scandella (lower body) is not expected to play Tuesday versus the Avalanche, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Scandella missed four out of the six games in the Blues' first-round series versus the Wild due to two separate injuries. The Blues have opted to go with seven defensemen to cover his absence recently, allowing both Calle Rosen and Scott Perunovich to play. There's no concrete timeline on when Scandella will be cleared to play.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Not ready to return

    Scandella (lower body) will not be available to rejoin the lineup against Minnesota on Thursday.

    Scandella's lingering absence due to his lower-body issue is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players considering he has managed just two points in his last 18 contests, along with 14 shots, 34 hits and 14 blocks. Despite Scandella being unavailable, the Blues have been deploying seven defensemen and will likely do so even once Scandella is cleared to play.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Unavailable Tuesday

    Scandella (lower body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Scandella was hurt in Game 4 on Sunday after logging just 1:34 of ice time. Considering the veteran has just one point in his last eight contests, his absence is unlikely to directly impact fantasy players. However, with question marks around Nick Leddy (upper body) and Robert Bortuzzo (upper body), the Blues are getting increasingly thin on the blue line.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Exits Sunday's contest

    Scandella (lower body) will not return to Sunday's game against Minnesota.

    Scandella registered a minus-1 rating in 1:34 of ice time before leaving during the first period Sunday. He missed the first two games of the series with an undisclosed injury and it's unclear if this exit is related. An update on his status should be available before Game 5 on Tuesday.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Good to go Friday

    Scandella (undisclosed) is in Friday's lineup for Game 3 against the Wild, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Scandella will suit up for the first time this postseason after missing the Blues' previous three contests. The 32-year-old tallied 14 points with a plus-17 rating through 70 games during the regular season. He'll skate in a top-four role Friday.

  • Blues' Marco Scandella: Sidelined with undisclosed issue

    Scandella (undisclosed) remains without a timeline for his return due to an undisclosed injury, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
