The Blues have recalled Jordan Kyrou from San Antonio (AHL).

Kyrou is one of the Blues top prospects and gets recalled with the Blues struggling offensively in their last two games. Kyrou, who was a second-round pick in 2016, has 15 points (9G / 6A) in 16 AHL games this season. During a 16-game stint with the Blues last year, Kyrou had one goal and two assists.

Binnington will start Saturday vs. the Maple Leafs.

Binnington allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Blues loss in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Binnington has won four of his last six starts while posting a 2.02 GAA, .940 SV% and one shutout. He is showing that last year was not a fluke and tonight he faces his hometown team, who he is 2-0-0 against in his young career while stopping 63 of 67 shots (.940 SV%).

Binnington will start Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

Binnington allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Blues win over the Penguins last Saturday. Jake Allen started on Monday but Binnington will be back in the crease Wednesday in Pittsburgh. He just beat them and has won four of his last five starts while posting a 1.81 GAA, .946 SV% and one shutout, so don't hesitate to start him against a banged-up Penguins team.

Binnington will start Wednesday in Tampa Bay.

Binnington gave up three goals on 42 shots in the Blues' loss to the Predators on Saturday. Binnington was given the night off on Monday, so he'll go tonight in Tampa Bay. He is 4-2-1 with a 2.67 GAA and .914 SV% in seven road outings this season. In his first start against Tampa Bay, he faced just 18 shots, stopping 17 of them in a 3-1 win. It likely won't be that easy again tonight.

Bjugstad underwent surgery to repair a core muscle injury and will miss at least eight weeks.

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.
