St Louis Blues News

Krug has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but the Bruins are hopeful that he will play on Saturday. Krug will likely take his spot on the top power-play unit and returns with 13 points (2G / 11A) in 17 games this season.

Bjugstad will miss his third straight game on Thursday and will miss at least two months after undergoing surgery today. Injuries have devastated the Penguins in the first two months of the season but they’ve continued to win games. Luckily, they’ll get Patric Hornqvist back to replace Bjugstad on Thursday.

Binnington allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Blues win in Calgary on Saturday. Binnington has now won five in a row and has given up just 11 goals on 162 shots (.932 SV%) over that stretch. He is proving that the second-half of 2019 was not a fluke and that he is in fact one of the best goalies in the NHL right now. He is a terrific option against a Coyotes team that played in Washington last night.

Luff is tied for second in team scoring with 10 points (3G / 7A) in 13 games with Ontario this season. There's no indication whether or not Luff will make his season debut on Tuesday but he comes up with 11 points (8G / 3A) in 33 career NHL games.

Krug suffered an upper-body injury on Sunday and won't play Tuesday but the Bruins are not ruling him out of their back-to-back on Friday/Saturday. Krug is still be evaluated and the team is expected to release more information later in the week.

Krug was forced to leave Sunday's game vs. the Flyers with an upper-body injury and did not return. The Bruins recalled Urho Vaakanainen from Providence (AHL) on Monday, suggesting that Krug will not be available vs. the Panthers.

Binnington allowed one goal on 34 shots in the Blues win in Vancouver on Tuesday. Jake Allen gave him the night off on Wednesday, so Binnington will get the call Saturday in Calgary. He has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.80 GAA and .912 SV% on the road this season but will be tested in Calgary. The Flames are 6-1-1 and have scored 4.00 goals per game in their first eight home games of 2019-20.

Texier missed four games with a knee injury that he suffered in Philadelphia on October 26th. A combination of Jakob Lilja and Kole Sherwood helped replace Texier, who will reclaim his spot in the Columbus bottom-6 in Arizona on Thursday night. Texier has two goals on 15 shots (13.3 SH%) and one assist in 11 games this season.

Binnington allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Blues victor vs. the Blue Jackets last Friday. Jake Allen finally gave him a night off on Saturday but they'll go right back to Binnington in Vancouver. Binnington has gone 5-1-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .926 SV% in his last six starts, putting him back firmly among the top goalies in the league. The Canucks' offence is among the best in the league right now but it's hard to justify benching Binnington.

Binnington gave up four goals on 33 shots in the Blues win in Detroit on Sunday. It wasn't Binnington's best outing but it was enough to win for the third time in four games. The 26-year-old has yet to lose in regulation on home ice this season, going 3-0-2 with a 2.15 GAA and .926 SV% in his first five starts at Enterprise Center. He is a must-start against a Wild team that played last night and come in ranked 28th in the NHL in scoring (2.42 GF/gm).
