ST. LOUIS (AP) — The New York Islanders made
another addition to their blue line Monday, acquiring defenseman
Scott Perunovich from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for a
conditional fifth-round pick in the 2026 draft.
The trade announced by the teams comes on the heels of the
Islanders signing Tony DeAngelo to a contract for the rest of
the NHL season. DeAngelo made his debut Saturday after signing
for a prorated $775,000 on Friday and clearing waivers.
New York has won four in a row after losing 27 of its first 44
games and is in seventh place in the eight-team Metropolitan
Division.
The 26-year-old Perunovich has been in and out of the lineup in
his second full season in the league and has six points in the
24 games he has played. He has 33 points and skated an average
of just under 15 minutes over 104 regular-season and playoff
games with the Blues, who are just outside a playoff spot in the
Western Conference.
The Hibbing, Minnesota, native is making $1.15 million and is
set to be a restricted free agent this summer.
