Islanders acquire D Scott Perunovich in trade with Blues
Perunovich has appeared in 24 games this season, recording two goals and four assists.
He was originally selected in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft out of the University of Minnesota Duluth, where he took home the Hobey Baker Award after producing six goals and 34 assists during his senior season.
He also represented the United States at the 2018 World Junior Championships and 2023 World Championships.
Perunovich recently found himself on the outside looking in at playing time with St. Louis, having appeared in just two games since the calendar flipped to the new year.
The offensive-minded defenseman should immediately find minutes with the Isles after Ryan Pulock landed on injured reserve earlier in the day with an upper-body injury suffered during Saturday's game.
