Blues forward Berglund to have shoulder surgery

St. Louis Blues forward Patrik Berglund will have surgery on his right shoulder Friday and will be re-evaluated in four months.

Blues general manager Doug Armstrong confirmed Thursday that Berglund, who initially dislocated the shoulder at the end of the 2013-14 regular season, re-aggravated the injury while training this summer. He also said veteran center Scott Gomez has accepted an invitation to attend training camp on a professional tryout contract.  READ MORE
