Suter did not play on Saturday due to a lower-body injury and remains day-to-day. The 29-year-old Suter, in his first season with the Blues, started the 2025-26 campaign scoring at a reasonable pace with nine points (5G / 4A) in his first 14 games, but has been held to just three points (1G / 2A) in his subsequent 11 outings.
After a horrendous start to the 2025-26 season, the Blues are making a push to get back into the race for playoff contention, with a 3-1-3 record in their last seven. Improved play from Binnington has helped with the Blues' recent uptick, posting a 2.80 GAA and .909 SV% in his last six games (3-0-3). The 32-year-old goalie has a 3.11 GAA and .882 SV% in 17 games this season (6-5-5). The Blues enter Monday's contest as -148 home favorites against a Ducks team that will likely be relying on their third-string netminder, Ville Husso, due to injuries.
An unfortunate accident at home will leave Toropchenko sidelined for several weeks. The 26-year-old forward had two points (1G / 1A) while playing predominantly a fourth line role for the Blues this season.
Snuggerud showed no signs of an injury in his previous outing, but he will be sidelined for at least six weeks after undergoing wrist surgery. The 21-year-old rookie has 11 points (5G / 6A) in 26 games this season, but had been held off the scoresheet in seven straight.
Matthew Kessel will draw back into the lineup on Friday against the Ottawa Senators, sending Tucker to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Tucker is has four points (1G / 3A) and a -5 plus/minus through 23 games this season.
Tyler Tucker will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the Ottawa Senators, allowing Kessel to re-enter the lineup. The 25-year-old Kessel is averaging 11:3 time-on-ice and has one goal in 13 games this season.
The Blues have been far more competitive lately, but have still lost seven of their last 10 (3-2-5). Binnington has helped the Blues collect at least a point in five straight outings (2-0-3) while posting a solid 2.80 GAA and .912 SV%. The 32-year-old goalie has a 3.11 GAA and .881 SV% in 16 games this season (5-5-5). The Blue enter Friday's contest as slight -103 home underdogs against an Ottawa Senators team that will welcome Brady Tkachuk back into the lineup.
The Blues are coming off a 3-2 loss to the New York Rangers with Joel Hofer tending the twine, but they will revert to Binnington on Wednesday against the New Jersey Devils.

He has a 3.13 GAA and .880 SV% in 15 games this season (5-5-4).
