|

|

|
November 17, 2008 Blues winger Paul Kariya will be back with the team Friday after missing time with a sore left foot, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

|
November 15, 2008 Paul Kariya missed his fourth straight game Friday due to his sore left foot, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Our View:He is questionable for Sunday's game against Montreal. The Blues then have four days off before battling Anaheim on Thursday, giving Kariya ample time to recover. |
|
November 12, 2008 Fox Sports reports that Paul Kariya (back) will not play on Wednesday, but hopes to be back in the lineup on Friday. Our View:Kariya was off to a good start before the setback. He has 13 assists and 15 points through 11 games this season. |
|
November 10, 2008 Paul Kariya did not participate in practice on Monday and could miss Wednesday's game, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Kariya returned early from the Blues’ West Coast trip to have an MRI on his lower body injury, which is believed to be a sore foot. Our View:It seems he is targeting a Friday return in Chicago. He has an impressive 15 points in his first 11 games. |
|
November 7, 2008 Paul Kariya's MRI results were encouraging, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The indications are that he doesn't have any serious problems, and he should be able to return next week against either Buffalo or Chicago.

|
November 6, 2008 Paul Kariya will have an MRI on his injured lower body to determine just how long he will be out of the lineup, according to Hockey Buzz. Our View:Kariya, who has already been ruled out of action for Thursday night, has scored 15 points in 11 games this season, a fabulous start to the season. The Blues would be in trouble if he were to miss an extended period of time. For the moment, no other Blues skater was called up, a good sign that the team believes the injury isn't too serious. |
|
November 6, 2008 Paul Kariya is not expected to play Thursday against the Sharks due to a lower-body injury, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Our View:He is also going to be doubftul for Saturday's game against the Kings. This is a tough loss for the Blues and fantasy owners, as he contributed two goals and 13 assists over 11 games. |
|
November 6, 2008 Paul Kariya was forced out of action in the second period of Wednesday's game and was unable to return, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Coach Andy Murray said, "I don't know what the extent of the injury is. He couldn't finish the game. To be honest, I didn't really see the play. I don't really ask. I just find out whether the guy can play or not." Our View:The team could not confirm the injury, but he was believed to be struck by a shot. He is considered day-to-day. He would be a tough loss if forced to miss time, as he racked up two goals and 13 assists over 11 games. |
|
November 1, 2008 Paul Kariya registered a pair of assists in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh. Our View:Kariya is off to a great start with St. Louis, as he contributed 12 assists and 14 points over 10 games. |
|
October 24, 2008 Kariya continues to be productive for the Blues, having registered 10 points through the Blues' first six games. The Blues would like him to score a few more goals, but the team is winning and Kariya's offense has been a big part of it. Our View:Kariya is owned in nearly all leagues, but should be signed if he's available, and started if you have him on your roster this weekend with a weak Kings team coming in Friday night. |
|
October 13, 2008 Paul Kariya generated a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs. Our View:Kariya is off to a great start as he now has six points over the first three games of the season. Today's goal was his first. |
|
October 10, 2008 Paul Kariya chipped in two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over Nashville. Our View:The veteran averaged 75 points over the last three seasons, and looks to stay on par in 2008-09. |
|
October 4, 2008 Paul Kariya generated a goal and two assists in Saturday's 4-1 preseason win over Atlanta. Our View:Kariya will turn 34 this month, but has not missed a regular season game over the last three seasons, while averaging 75 points over the span. He has a few more productive seasons left in him, and is a solid player to round out a fantasy roster with. |
|
September 10, 2008 Blues winger Paul Kariya showed up in St. Louis with added muscle, which he hopes will be a factor in allowing him to score more goals for the team this season, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Our View:Kariya had a career-low 16 goals last year, and he needs to be more prolific in that area if the Blues hope to be more successful. Fantasy owners can still use a guy like Kariya, who doled out 49 assists on his way to 69 points last season. |
|
March 18, 2008 Paul Kariya failed to score for a 17th straight game, coming up short in the Blues' 4-3 shootout win over Montreal. The scoreless streak dates back to the Blues' last road win on February 14th. While he has seven assists over that span, the Blues (and fantasy owners) are finding the growing pains of frustration hard to ignore. Kariya was once a scoring machine, but it appears his game has fallen flat and the time to seek better fantasy options has come. |
|
February 28, 2008 Paul Kariya's perplexing fall continues as he now has failed to register a point five games and has gone goalless in eight straight games as well. For a player that prides himself on being consistent this is a truly vexing situation. Kariya will certainly pull out of it sometime soon, he is too talented not to, but until he does you might consider finding him a spot on your bench. |
|
February 23, 2008 Paul Kariya failed to score on Friday night when the Blues faced his former team the Anaheim Ducks. Kariya now has only one goal in seven games and just three in 19 games as his scoring rate has greatly slowed of late. In fact, Kariya has just one assist in his last five games. |
