The St. Louis Blues are getting some bad news about one of their top young defensemen. The team announced yesterday that blue-liner Scott Perunovich will have surgery on his left shoulder and miss at least six months. The 24-year-old suffered the injury during the Blues preseason game against Chicago on September 27th. The 24-year-old missed most of last season with a left wrist injury, and he had six assists in 19 games.
