The St. Louis Blues are trying to climb out of a hole this year<\/a>. They are near the bottom of the Western Conference at this time. And it appears as if the Blues are preparing for a potential fire sale at the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline. On Sunday, they took on Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers, where a scary incident took place between McDavid and Oskar Sundqvist.<\/p>\n

The two veteran players were involved in a collision near the boards during the third period. After the play was whistled dead, some Blues players and an on-ice official began urgently waving for medical personnel. A trainer came onto the ice to help Sundqvist off the ice as the Oilers fans in Edmonton gave Sundqvist a loud ovation.<\/p>\n

It was speculated that the Blues forward had been cut during the play with McDavid. After the game, head coach Jim Montgomery confirmed he did suffer a cut. And thankfully, he avoided the nightmare scenario<\/a> in this case.<\/p>\n

\u201cJim Montgomery said it was a cut to Sundqvist above the ankle but NOT the achillies,\u201d the Blues head coach said, via Lou Korac of NHL.com.<\/p>\n

Sundqvist is an important depth forward for the Blues<\/a>. So far, he\u2019s skated in 39 games, including Sunday\u2019s contest. He has three goals and 13 points in these games while skating around 13 and a half minutes per game. Sundqvist is signed through the rest of this season after inking an extension in 2024.<\/p>\n

Fans will need to wait for a timeline on Sundqvist\u2019s return to the ice, but this is certainly positive news. St. Louis is in action again on Tuesday when they take on the Winnipeg Jets.<\/p>\n
