Fleury will get the night off on the tail-end of a back-to-back and Brett Kulak will draw in to replace the rookie blueliner.

Grubauer allowed five goals on 24 shots in Colorado's loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday. Grubauer has gone winless in his last six starts, going 0-4-1 with a 3.40 GAA and .895 SV%. The Avalanche are struggling right now and a matchup with the Blues likely won't help. St. Louis has won eight of their last nine (8-1-0) while scoring 3.78 goals per game.

Marchment has two goals and two assists in 11 games with the Marlies (AHL) this season and was called up on Wednesday. The 24-year-old winger is 6-foot-4, 220 lbs. and will replace Dmytro Timashov and is expected to skate on the fourth line in his debut.

Marchment was an undrafted winger who has been with the Marlies since 2015-16 and has scored two goals with two assists (four points) in 11 games this season.

Grubauer stopped 38 of 40 shots in Colorado's 3-2 shootout loss in Dallas on Saturday. It was a great game for Grubauer but it extended his winless streak to five games (0-3-1). He has posted a 3.01 GAA and .912 SV% over that stretch and tonight he faces a Jets team that has lost five of their last six (1-4-1) while averaging 2.83 goals per game.

Kempny missed the last two games with an illness but was back on the third-pair with Radko Gudas on Monday. With Christian Djoos battling an upper-body injury, Kempny is expected to return to the lineup tomorrow vs. the Islanders. Kempny has three goals and 10 assists (13 points) in 30 games this season.

Kempny missed last night's game with an illness and will miss his second straight game on Saturday. With Kempny staying back in Washington, Christian Djoos will remain on the Capitals blueline vs. the Hurricanes.

Murray allowed four goals on just 14 shots in the Penguins 4-1 loss in Vancouver last Saturday. No one needed the Christmas break more than the 25-year-old Penguins' netminder, who is 1-3-3 with a 3.89 GAA and .848 SV% in his last eight starts. He comes into Saturday's game at 6-2-2 with a 2.58 GAA and .913 SV% at the PPG Paints Arena this season.

Grubauer allowed four goals on 31 shots in Colorado's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks last Saturday. With Pavel Francouz starting against the Wild last night, Grubauer will start tonight in Dallas. Grubauer has lost three in a row while giving up 10 goals on 104 shots (.904 SV%) and is 0-2-0 with a 3.05 GAA and .910 SV% in two games against the Stars this season.

Kakko missed the final two games before the break but is expected to be back on the third line on Friday. Kakko has scored six goals with eight assists (14 points) in 32 games this season.

Both Kempny and Radko Gudas are battling illness, so Christian Djoos was called up from the AHL in case one or both of them miss tonight's game vs. the Blue Jackets.

With Kakko unavailable for the Ducks, Michael Haley will draw back into the Rangers lineup on Sunday afternoon. Kakko's injury is not believed to be serious but it puts him in jeopardy of missing Monday's game in Philadelphia as well.

This will be Hayden's first game since November 26th and will replace Michael McLeod in Columbus. Hayden has just one assist in 11 games this season.
