Binnington stopped 25 of 26 shots in the Blues win over the Jets last Sunday. Binnington is on a six-game winning streak while posting a 2.15 GAA and .921 SV%. He is also 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .935 SV% in two starts against an Avalanche team, that has lost five of their last six (1-4-1) but they've scored 3.50 goals per game over that span.


Krug missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but will be back next Brandon Carlo at even-strength and on the top power-play unit vs. the Blue Jackets. Krug has five goals and 21 assists (26 points) in 33 games this season.

Krug was on the ice for Monday's morning skate but head coach Bruce Cassidy doesn't expect him to play tomorrow vs. the Devils. With Krug likely out, Charlie McAvoy on IR and Connor Clifton dealing with an upper-body injury, Jeremy Lauzon was called up and is expected to skate with Matt Grzelcyk.

Joseph appeared in three straight games, playing 11:03 ATOI but failing to record a point. It's been a tough season for the 22-year-old, who played the entire 2018-19 season with Tampa Bay. He heads back to Syracuse, where he has one goal in two games.


Binnington stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Blues' win in Los Angeles on Monday. Binnington is riding a four-game winning streak while posting a 2.00 GAA and .927 SV%. Tonight he'll take on a Jets team that has lost three straight home games while scoring just 2.00 goals per game.

Krug suffered an upper-body injury in the Bruins final game before the break, a 7-3 win over the Capitals. Being moved to IR means he'll miss at least two games, so look for Matt Grzelcyk to man the top power-play unit on Friday.

Luff has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Trevor Lewis (upper-body) on Monday. Luff has one goal and three assists (four points) in 10 games this season.


Joseph scored one goal in two games with the Crunch after being sent down. He comes back up with Tyler Johnson out with a lower-body injury. The 22-year-old has just four goals and three assists (seven points) in 31 NHL games this year.

Rosen was a healthy scratch for the last two games, so he goes back to the AHL with Anton Lindholm staying with the team. The 25-year-old has eight points (1G / 7A) in 13 AHL games this season.

Joseph started the season at a decent pace, posting seven points (4G / 3A) while playing 12:36 ATOI in his first 21 games but has no points and a minus-4 rating while playing just 9:43 ATOI in his last 10. He'll go back to Syracuse to get his game back in order, which means that Mitchell Stephens will remain with the Lightning and play on the fourth line on Thursday.

Rosen played in four straight games but will take a seat with Anton Lindholm making his season debut in Chicago. Rosen has two assists while playing 13:49 ATOI in eight games since being called-up.

Binnington allowed three goals on 22 shots in the Blues win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. Binnington has won four of his last six (4-2-0) with a 3.28 GAA and .894 SV%. He hasn't been great but has done enough to win lately. Tonight he faces a Colorado team that is on a nine-game point streak, going 8-0-1 while scoring 4.00 goals per game during that stretch.

Binnnington allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Blues win over the Golden Knights on Thursday. It was a much-needed outing for Binnington, who had played poorly in his previous two starts. Today he faces a Blackhawks team that is 3-7-2 in their last 12 in St. Louis, where he is 9-3-3 with a 2.23 GAA, .926 SV% and one shutout this year. Don't hesitate to start Binnnington.

Walker appeared in five games during his call-up but was a healthy scratch on Tuesday and returns to the AHL with Oskar Sundqvist returning to the lineup on Thursday. Walker has 22 points (12G / 10A) in 20 AHL games this season.

Sundqvist has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but will play Thursday vs. the Golden Knights. Sundqvist will replace Austin Poganski in the lineup but there is no indication what line he will skate on.

Binnington was pulled after he allowed four goals on 11 shots in the Blues' loss to the Maple Leafs last Saturday. Binnington has lost three of his last five starts while posting a 3.61 GAA and .901 SV% and draws a tough matchup with the Golden Knights in town. Vegas has won five of their last seven (5-1-1) while scoring 3.00 goals per game.
