He&#8217;s their second line center so taking him out of the lineup for a few months is a big blow to their center depth.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Berglund set a new career high in goals with 23 and finished with 34 points in 82 games. His 34 points are the most points he&#8217;s had in a season since he had 38 during the 2011-2012 season. He&#8217;s scored ten or more goals in every season he&#8217;s been in the league with the Blues.<\/p>\n<p>His playoff numbers have looked pretty good too even though he didn&#8217;t have a goal during this run. When the Blues got to the Western Conference Final during the 2015-2016 season, he had four goals and nine points in 20 playoff games. His possession numbers have always been good as they&#8217;ve been over 50% for most of his career. This year he was 51.2%.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second time in three years that Berglund has suffered a left shoulder surgery during off-season training according to Mike Halford of Pro Hockey Talk:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/HalfordPHT\/status\/880098684964282368<\/p>\n<p>Berglund has played a total of 637 regular season games in the NHL and has 151 goals and 145 assists to accumulate to 296 points. It&#8217;ll be interesting to see how effective Berglund is when he comes back from this injury in December.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:\u00a0SAN JOSE, CA &#8211; JANUARY 14: Patrik Berglund #21 of the St. Louis Blues skates against the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center on January 14, 2017 in San Jose, California.
