St Louis Blues News
Sundqvist has been placed on the COVID-19 protocol list.
Sundqvist will not be available Sunday in Winnipeg and will likely be out until after the Christmas break.
The Blues have recalled Alexei Toropchenko from Springfield (AHL).
Toropchenko was a fourth-round pick (No.113 overall) in 2017 and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday. Toropchenko has five goals and four assists (nine points) in 22 AHL games this season. The Blues will be without David Perron, Robert Thomas and Brayden Schenn on Tuesday, clearing the way for Toropchenko.
The Blues have placed Robert Thomas (lower-body) on IR.
Thomas has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury. His move to IR opens up a roster spot to activate Tyler Bozak from the COVID-19 protocol list but he's eligible to be activated whenever he's healthy.
Kyrou (upper-body) will not play Sunday vs. the Ducks.
The Oilers recalled Philip Broberg from Bakersfield (AHL).
Broberg had one assist in his first eight NHL games. He was returned to the AHL for a short period of time, getting recalled to replace Kris Russell (upper-body) on the roster.
Thomas (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.
Thomas will miss Tuesday's game vs. the Panthers due to a lower-body injury and that will force the Blues to play one skater short tonight. Due to cap reasons, the Blues will have to go with 10 forwards and seven defensemen.
The Golden Knights have signed Zach Dean to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Binnington has been placed in the COVID-19 protocol.
With Binnington going into the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, Charlie Lindgren has been recalled from the AHL and is expected to back-up Ville Husso in Tampa.

Line Change
Broberg will make his NHL debut on Saturday.
Broberg was the No.8 overall pick in the 2019 draft and came over to North America this season after two years in the SHL. The 20-year-old blueliner had 13 points (3G / 10A) in 44 games with Skelleftea AIK last year and has picked up 10 assists in his first 13 AHL games with Bakersfield.
Goalie Start
Binnington will likely start Saturday in Dallas.
The Oilers will recall Philip Broberg from Bakersfield (AHL).
Slater Koekkoek was hurt on Thursday, so Broberg will join the team in Edmonton and could make his NHL debut on Saturday. The 2019 eighth overall pick has picked up 10 assists in 13 AHL games this season.
Sundqvist (knee) will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Sundqvist will play for the first time since March 19th. He suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in a collision with Kyle Clifford in a win over the Sharks that night. Oddly enough, Clifford was waived on Monday to make room for Sundqvist to be activated for tonight's game vs. Arizona.
Krug (COVID-19) will return to the Blues lineup on Tuesday.
Krug has missed the last five games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play tonight vs. the Coyotes. Krug had two goals and six assists (eight points) in nine games before entering protocol.
