McTavish left Saturday's game against the Colorado Avalanche in the first period with an upper-body injury after playing only 2:33 time-on-ice. McTavish will not travel with the Ducks for their rematch against the Avalanche Tuesday or Chicago the game after. He is having a tremendous season, scoring 21 points (10G / 11A) and 63 shots in 24 games and will be a huge loss for a Ducks team that already struggles offensively, ranking sixth-worst in the league (2.75 GF / GP).

Binnington will start for the third consecutive game and look to build off a strong 34-save performance (.919 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.

The Blues are -122 home favourites on Thursday against a Buffalo Sabres team that ranks in the bottom-third of the league offensively (2.91 GF / GP) and has been wildly inconsistent this season, indicated by their 4-4-0 record over their last eight games.

Tucker suited up for the first time in nine games in St.Louis' previous contest but will head back to the press box as he is a healthy scratch Tuesday vs. Minnesota.

Binnington is coming off a sensational 32-save performance (.941 SV%) in a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday and will return to the crease again as the Blues' starting goalie on Tuesday. Binnington has been significantly better than his output over the previous two seasons but still has been wildly inconsistent, highlighted by a .894 SV% over his past seven appearances (3-1-0), which contain a shutout and four high-quality starts. The Blues are +142 road underdogs against a Minnesota Wild team that will be playing their first game under new head coach John Hynes.

Berggren has played two games with the Red Wings this season but has spent most of his time with the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL where he has been terrific, scoring 11 points (4G / 4A) in 11 games. Last season, Berggren was a regular in the Red Wings lineup, tallying 28 points (15G / 13A) in 67 games.

Suter has already missed the Canucks last five games due to an undisclosed injury and was placed on the long-term injured reserve Friday. The 27-year-old signed with Vancouver in the offseason and has four goals, 23 SOG, four PIMs and a +3 plus/minus through 15 games prior to his injury.

Binnington will return to the crease on Wednesday when the St. Louis Blues face off as slight +101 road underdogs against the Arizona Coyotes.

Binnington has a terrific 2.47 GAA and .922 SV% through 12 games (5-5-1), unquestionably his best season since the 2018-19 campaign when he emerged as a rookie and led the Blues to the Stanley Cup.
