Darcy Kuemper suffered and upper-body injury in Dallas last night, so Hill comes up to serve as Calvin Pickard’s backup on Tuesday. Hill could remain with the team and get some playing time if Kuemper misses some time.

Hill ended up stopping 59 of 60 shots (.983 SV%) to win three straight games.

Hill stopped all 29 shots that he faced in the Coyotes shutout win in Nashville on Thursday. Hill has stopped all 35 shots that he has faced this season and will look to keep his shutout streak going tonight vs. the Blues. St. Louis comes in having lost seven of his last 10 games.
