Sundqvist is day-to-day after playing through an issue in Detroits 6-2 loss to New Jersey Tuesday. Head coach Derek Lalonde said they are not sure if he will be able to make it back into the lineup Thursday. Sundqvist has five points (1G/4A) in his first six games played.
Binnington shut the Oilers out his last time taking the crease in a 23-save performance. He has been exceptional through three starts this season, going 3-0-0 while pitching the fifth-best save percentage (.940 SV%) and this best GAA (1.65) in the NHL. His Blues will host the Oilers who have won two of their last three games by scoring six goals and will also be hoping to solve Binnington this time around.
Buchnevich has not played since the Blues season opener on October 15th where he had a strong first game, collecting a goal and an assist to go along with a +3 plus/minus rating. The Blues confirmed Tuesday he was placed on the injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. The Blues will hope to have their star winger back sooner rather than later as he has 78 points (31G/47A) in 74 career games with St.Louis.
Head coach Jay Woodcroft has announced that Dylan Halloway will miss another game Monday even though he was back on the ice this morning for practice. Halloway is still searching for his first career NHL point after three games with the Oilers so far in 2022-23.
Holloway left Tuesday's game vs. the Sabres after being crushed by Ilya Lyubushkin. Expect Derek Ryan to draw into the Oilers lineup to replace him.

In the team's only game this season, Binnington thrived, stopping 23 of 25 shots on his way to a 5-2 opening-night victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. He will hope the Blues are still rolling as they become the final NHL team to reach the two-games played mark.

Broberg was sent to the AHL before the Oilers' season opener so Devin Shore could come up while both Kailer Yamamoto and Warren Foegele were hurt. With Yamamoto and Foegele back on the ice for Friday's practice, Broberg and Shore have swapped spots again.
Broberg failed to crack the opening night roster, so he'll start the season in Bakersfield (AHL) to make room for Devin Shore to be called up. Broberg had 23 points (4G / 19A) in 31 AHL games last season.
The Blue Jackets released a statement that read "per the advice and recommendation of the NHL/NHLPA Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program, will not join the club for the 2022-23 NHL season." In the statement, Texier said "During the past year, I have experienced some personal issues and challenges and I feel I need to be close to my family at this time." His $1.525M cap hit will come off of the Blue Jackets' books this season.
This is the first one-way contract of Walker's career. The 28-year-old set career-highs in games played (30), goals (8), assists (4) and points (12) in 2022. In 2022-23, he'll be a fringe roster player yet again for the Blues.
