Binnington will be back in the Blues' crease on Saturday after Joel Hofer got the nod in Thursday's 5-1 defeat to the Sharks.

Binnington has enjoyed a bit of renaissance to begin the 2023-24 season, owning an impressive .930 SV% and 2.23 GAA across 11 appearances. He's been unfortunate to rack up just five wins despite his efforts, and things won't get any easier tonight with the Blues going off as +150 underdogs in Los Angeles.

Binnington will return to the Blues' crease on Tuesday after serving as the backup to Joel Hofer in the team's most recent contest on Saturday, a 6-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Binnington has been unpredictable when called upon this season but has shown more good than bad, sporting a 2.38 GAA and .924 SV% in seven contests (3-1-1). The Blues have struggled to provide Binnington with goal support all season (2.40 GF / GP) but are coming off a season-best six-goal performance that they will hope to carry into their matchup against the Winnipeg Jets, who are -138 road favourites.
Binnington's forgettable 2022-23 campaign, where he posted a 3.31 GAA and .894 SV% in 61 games (27-27-6), seemed to be a thing of the past when he started this season with a 1.25 GAA and .959 SV% in his first three games (2-0-1). However, memories of last season are flooding back as Binnington has allowed 12 goals in his last three contests (0-3-0) and posted a .870 SV%. In Binnington's defence, the team in front of him hasn't provided much help as they rank second-worst in the league offensively (1.75 GF / GP). The Blues are +133 home underdogs on Friday against a New Jersey Devils team that ranks second-best in the league offensively, averaging 4.22 goals per game.

Binnington will be the starter for the Blues on Wednesday as they visit the Colorado Avalanche. The 30-year-old netminder is hoping to get back into the win column after losing consecutive games (0-2-0) and recording a .875 SV%.

The Blues are +194 road underdogs on Wednesday even though the Avalanche have been shut out in consecutive contests.
