Kyrou was recalled from San Antonio (AHL) on Monday and will play Tuesday in Buffalo. Kyrou has played very well in the AHL this season, scoring nine goals with six assists (15 points) in 16 games--giving him 58 points (25G / 31A) in 63 career AHL games. He'll be given an excellent chance to produce on Tuesday, as he'll skate with Brayden Schenn and Jaden Schwartz. He had just three points (1G / 2A) in 16 games with St. Louis last year.
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 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 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 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.
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.
Drouin suffered a wrist injury during Friday's game in Washington, was placed on IR on Saturday and will miss several weeks after undergoing surgery on Monday. Tomas Tatar moved back to the top-line with Drouin out and Charles Hudon will likely remain with the team while he is out.
Drouin was levelled by Alex Ovechkin in Friday's game and did not return after suffering an "upper-body" injury. His move to IR means he'll miss at least one week or three games. Charles Hudon was recalled from Laval (AHL) to take his spot on the roster.
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.
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.
