Binnington allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Blues win in Tampa Bay on Wednesday. With Jake Allen starting last night, Binnington will face the Penguins tonight. The 26-year-old netminder has gone 7-2-3 with a 1.98 GAA, .933 SV% and one shutout.
Luff played in the last two games and even picked up an assist last night, but Nikolai Prokhorkin will replace him on Saturday.
Sundqvist suffered a lower-body injury in Tampa Bay on Wednesday and was moved to IR on Thursday. With Sundqvist out, Troy Brouwer will move up to St. Louis' third-line on Friday.
Rosen was recently recalled from Colorado (AHL) and will replace Erik Johnson (lower-body) in the lineup on Wednesday. Rosen, who was acquired in the Tyson Barrie/Nazem Kadri trade, has eight points (1G / 7A) in 13 AHL games this season. He had one goal and one assist in eight career NHL games.
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.
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.
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.
Fabbri was originally selected in the first-round (No.21 overall) back in 2015 but injuries have derailed a once promising career. After posting 18 goals and 37 points in his rookie year, Fabbri has amassed just 36 points (14G / 22A) in 92 games over the last three seasons. He has had a hard time finding playing time with the Blues but that will not be an issue in Detroit. As long as he can stay healthy, Fabrri should be able to breathe new life into his career.
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.
