Carl Gunnarsson News

The Blues acquired Carl Gunnarsson in exchange for Roman Polak and a fourth-round pick on Saturday.

Gunnarsson had three goals and 14 assists in 80 games with the Maple Leafs last season. He averaged 19:25 TOI playing on the top pairing with Dion Phaneuf. He will likely slot in on the Blues' bottom pair or on the second unit with Kevin Shattenkirk. He will be better off playing a reduced role in St. Louis.

Gunnarsson was injured in the Maple Leafs 7-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday. He played only 5:06 before departing for the dressing room and not returning. If he is unable to play on Tuesday, Tim Gleason is expected to make his Maple Leafs debut and could take Gunnarson's spot paired with Dion Phaneuf. If not Gleason, Jake Gardiner would move up with Phaneuf.
