St Louis Blues News

Tucker was a seventh-round pick in 2018 and finished the 2019-20 OHL season eighth among defensemen with 56 points (17G / 39A) in 55 games between the Barrie Colts and Flint Firebirds. He will likely report to San Antonio (AHL) when he turns pro.

McGing was a fifth-round pick (No. 138 overall) in 2018 and finished his senior season with a team-high 35 points (13G / 22A) in 35 games at Western Michigan University. He will likely report to San Antonio (AHL) for the 2020-21 season.

Abramov, 18, was a fourth-round pick of the Maple Leafs this past summer. Abramov has had a terrific QMJHL season, leading Victoriaville with 76 points (35G / 41A) in 63 games.

Binnington allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Blues loss in New Jersey last Friday. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for Binnington, who comes into Monday at 20-4-5 with a 2.21 GAA, .918 SV% and three shutouts on home-ice. Tonight he’ll see a Panthers team that has gone 4-2-0 while averaging 3.83 goals for and 3.00 goals against per game in their last six road outings.

Carlo will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury, leaving the Bruins without two of their top-4 defensemen with Torey Krug also out. Carlo is day-to-day heading into the Bruins Friday/Saturday back-to-back.

Krug was in a few tussles during the Bruins loss to the Lightning on Saturday and is dealing with an upper-body injury heading into Tuesday's game. With Krug out, Connor Clifton will play for the first time since December 29th. Consider Krug as day-to-day heading into Friday's game in Buffalo.

Carlo took an elbow to the head from Evgeni Dadonov on Thursday and did not return to the game. Carlo is likely in concussion protocol and will not be available for Saturday's game vs. Tampa Bay. John Moore will draw into the Bruins lineup and skate with Torey Krug.

Parayko missed Monday's practice due to illness and will be a game-time decision tonight in New York. Parayko comes into Tuesday's game red-hot, ranking third among defensemen with 12 points (6G 6A) since the start of February (14 games).

Binnington allowed two goals on 17 shots in the Blues win over the Islanders last Thursday. Binnington is on a five-game winning streak, posting a 1.58 GAA, .928 SV% and two shutouts. The 26-year-old heads into New York at 9-7-2 with a 3.22 GAA and .900 SV% on the road this year--in his first start vs. the Rangers, he allowed two goals on 23 shots in a 5-2 win (Jan.11).

Buchnevich travelled to Montreal with the team but will not play on Thursday. Buchnevich remains day-to-day and has not been ruled out for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

Binnington allowed five goals on 30 shots in the Blues win over the Blackhawks on Tuesday. It wasn't his best performance but it was enough to extend his winning streak to four games. The 26-year-old is 19-4-5 with a 2.23 GAA, .919 SV% and three shutouts at the Enterprise Center this season. In his first start vs. the Islanders, Binnington allowed three goals on 32 shots in a 3-2 OT loss.

Drouin is being hampered by an ankle issue, so he'll come out of the lineup for Thursday's game vs. the Rangers. Charles Hudon was recalled from Laval (AHL) and will draw in for Drouin.

Rosen was acquired from the Avalanche at the trade deadline and his services will be required right away. Jake Muzzin will miss four weeks with a broken hand so Rosen or Martin Marincin will draw into the lineup on Thursday. Rosen has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 35 AHL games this season and four points (1G / 3A) in 16 career NHL games.

Buchnevich is banged up after getting in a car accident and will not be in the lineup against the Islanders. Brendan Lemieux is expected to move up into the top-6 with Buchnevich out.
