Jonatan Berggren has been recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL).

Last season, Berggren was a regular in the Red Wings lineup, tallying 28 points (15G / 13A) in 67 games.

Jordan Binnington will start Wednesday at Arizona.

Binnington will return to the crease on Wednesday when the St. Louis Blues face off as slight +101 road underdogs against the Arizona Coyotes. The Blues have already faced the Coyotes twice this season (1-1-0), but Wednesday will mark Binnington's first appearance against them. Binnington has a terrific 2.47 GAA and .922 SV% through 12 games (5-5-1), unquestionably his best season since the 2018-19 campaign when he emerged as a rookie and led the Blues to the Stanley Cup.

Binnington will start in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Binnington will be back in the Blues' crease on Saturday after Joel Hofer got the nod in Thursday's 5-1 defeat to the Sharks. Binnington relieved Hofer in that game after the latter allowed four goals on just 21 shots. Binnington has enjoyed a bit of renaissance to begin the 2023-24 season, owning an impressive .930 SV% and 2.23 GAA across 11 appearances. He's been unfortunate to rack up just five wins despite his efforts, and things won't get any easier tonight with the Blues going off as +150 underdogs in Los Angeles.

Justin Holl will draw back into the Red Wings' lineup Friday vs. Toronto.

Holl did not skate for the Red Wings in yesterday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators but is expected to be back in the lineup against his former team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, on Friday. Holl spent the first six seasons of his career with the Maple Leafs before signing with the Red Wings this past offseason. In 12 games, Holl has three points (0G / 3A), averaging 16:21 time-on-ice, over four minutes less than his average over the previous three seasons with the Maple Leafs.

Joel Hofer will start Thursday in San Jose.

Hofer will be the starter on Thursday for a red-hot Blues team that has won five of their last six games (5-1-0), outscoring their opposition 26-12. In limited action this season, Hofer has been excellent when called upon, saving 76 of 80 shots faced (.950 SV%) over his last three contests (3-0-0). The Blues will look to continue their winning ways, as they are sizeable -215 road favourites against the league's worst team, the San Jose Sharks, who are averaging a nearly non-existent 1.31 goals per game.

The Blues are +109 home underdogs on Tuesday against a Tampa Bay Lightning team eager to get out of a two-game funk where they have been outscored 9-3 (0-2-0).
