Thomas (lower-body) will not play Monday in Winnipeg.
Thomas was on the ice briefly this morning but will not play Monday in Winnipeg. This is the second straight game that Thomas has missed, so look for Brayden Schenn to remain on the top line. Monitor Thomas' status coming out of the All Star break, the Blues don't play again until next Saturday.
Talbot (lower-body) will not be ready right after the All-Star break.
Talbot has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury and is expected to miss more time. He won't be available for Tuesday's game in Montreal and won't be ready when the Senators return from the All-Star break next Saturday vs. the Oilers. The Senators will continue to roll with Anton Forsberg between the pipes while Talbot is sidelined.
Thompson is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Thompson was not on the ice for Monday's practice and is considered day-to-day. This leaves Thompson's status for Wednesday's game vs. Carolina in question. It's unclear when Thompson suffered the injury, as he finished Saturday's game in Minnesota with 20:58 TOI.
Blankenburg is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Blankenburg has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury and was not on the ice for Monday's practice. Consider Blankenburg questionable to play Tuesday vs. the Capitals.
Boqvist is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Boqvist missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and was not on the ice for Monday's practice. Boqvist is listed as day-to-day and is questionable to play Tuesday vs. the Capitals.
Line Change
Stanley will be a healthy scratch on Monday.
Stanley played in two straight games after returning from a lower-body injury but will be replaced by Kyle Capobianco on Monday. Stanley has just one assist and a minus-2 rating in 10 games so far this season.
Line Change
Capobianco will draw into the Jets lineup on Monday.
Capobianco has not played since January 3rd, but he will replace Logan Stanley on the Jets' blueline on Monday. Capobianco has appeared in just eight NHL games this season, scoring one goal on four shots, with four PIMS and a plus-1 rating.
Goalie Start
Binnington was the first goalie off the ice at the Blues' morning skate.
Binnington allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Blues' loss in Colorado on Saturday. Binnington did all he could to keep the Blues in it, but lost his third straight, allowing 11 goals on 67 shots (.836 SV%) in the process. Tonight he faces a Jets team that is 13th in the NHL in goals (3.18 GF/gm) as a massive +199 underdog, making him a risky fantasy option.
Goalie Start
Allen will start Tuesday vs. the Senators.
Goalie Start
Hellebuyck will start Monday vs. the Blues.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
