Doug Armstrong goes on further to stipulate that the surgery has nothing to do with the previous injury that Perunovich suffered last season. Perunovich will be reevaluated in 6 months to see if he needs more time to get back to full health.

The former 2nd round pick sustained the injury during the Blues' 4-1 preseason win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Sept. 27. The Blues had high hopes for Perunovich who they expected to take a big leap forward this season.
