Binnington stopped 21 of 22 shots in the Blues win in Dallas on Saturday. Binnington earned second star of the week honours in the NHL last week after winning all three of his starts while stopping 74 of the 76 shots (.974 SV%) that he faced. He will look to stay hot against an Islanders team that has won 11 of their last 14 games.

Binnington stopped 21 of 22 shots in the Blues win in Dallas on Saturday. Binnington earned second star of the week honours in the NHL last week after winning all three of his starts while stopping 74 of the 76 shots (.974 SV%) that he faced. He will look to stay hot against an Islanders team that has won 11 of their last 14 games.

Fabbri has been in the lineup for the last three games but will be replaced by Jordan Kyrou on Monday. The Blues expected more from Fabbri after he finally got back to full health but he has just five points (2G / 3A) in 21 games this season.

Kyrou sat as a healthy scratch after being called up from the AHL on Saturday but will replace Robby Fabbri tonight in Washington. Kyrou has just one goal and one assist in 11 games this season.

Bjugstad has been out since December 6th but will draw back in tonight in Vancouver. Bjugstad, who has four goals and six assists (10 points) in 27 games this season, will start on the top-line with Aleksander Barkov.

Kyrou has had a tough time finding offence early in his NHL career, picking up just one goal and one assist in 11 games this season. However, the 20-year-old has 11 goals and 14 assists (25 points) in 26 AHL games, so it’s probably only a matter of time before he starts racking up points for the Blues.

Binnington stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Blues shutout win in Philadelphia on Monday. Binnington was as good as you can be in his first career NHL start and has now stopped 46 of the 50 shots (.920 SV%) that he has faced with St. Louis this season. He draws a tougher assignment in his second career start—Montreal is 12-7-3 on the road this year.

Fabbri was a healthy scratch on Monday but is expected to replace Alex Steen on Tuesday after Steen suffered an apparent shoulder injury yesterday.

Fabbri has been in the lineup for the last three games but will be replaced by Patrick Maroon/Joel Edmundson as the Blues go with 11 forwards, seven defenseman. Fabbri has had a disappointing season, picking just two goals and two assists in 18 games.

Binnington has made two relief appearances this season, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%). The 25-year-old has spent the majority of the season in the AHL, where he has gone 11-4-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .927 SV% in 16 games. His NHL appearances have not been positive but his matchup with the Flyers is—Philadelphia enters play having lost six in a row (0-4-2).

Fabbri has missed the last 11 games with a separated shoulder but will play Monday vs. New York. Fabbri, who had just four points (2G / 2A) in 15 games earlier this season will start on the fourth line.

Bjugstad took part in the Panthers morning skate but will not play Thursday against Toronto. Bjugstad could potentially return on Saturday, which would force the Panthers to demote a forward.
