Binnington will start Thursday in Colorado.
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.
Goalie Start
Binnington is expected to start Thursday in Colorado.
Krug (upper-body) will return to the Bruins lineup on Thursday.
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.
Texier suffered a lumbar stress fracture and has been placed on IR.
Texier is out indefinitely with a lumbar stress fracture that he suffered in Tuesday's win over the Panthers. The Blue Jackets' injury woes continue with Texier expected to miss an extended period of time. Justin Scott was called up from Cleveland (AHL) to replace Texier.
Krug (upper-body) is not expected to travel to New Jersey.
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.
The Lightning have reassigned Mathieu Joseph to Syracuse (AHL).
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.
Goalie Start
Binnington led the Blues onto the ice for warmups.
Goalie Start
Binnington will start Friday in Winnipeg.
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.
The Bruins have placed Torey Krug (upper-body) on IR.
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.
Saad will miss three weeks with a right ankle injury.
Saad was hurt in Winnipeg on December 19th and will be out until mid-January with an ankle injury. With Saad out, head coach Jeremy Colliton has already tried Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane together for a period of time, so that's something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
Goalie Start
Binnington will start Monday in Los Angeles.
Joseph has been called up from Syracuse (AHL) and is expected to play on Monday.
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.
Leivo will miss 2-to-3 months with a fractured kneecap.
Following Thursday's game, head coach Travis Green said that he didn't think it was "going to be great" and the news is terrible. Leivo will be out until at least mid-February and his absence will allow Loui Eriksson to draw back into the lineup on Saturday.
Saad (ankle) will be out for a "couple weeks."
Saad was forced to leave Thursday's game in Winnipeg after suffering an ankle injury on a hit by Luca Sbisa. With Saad out, Dylan Sikura will draw back into the Blackhawks lineup on Saturday.
Leivo left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return.
The Canucks did not have an update on Leivo's status postgame but head coach Travis Green said that he doesn't think "it's going to be great though." Zack MacEwen was called up on Friday, suggesting that Leivo will miss Saturday's game at the very least.
The Lightning have reassigned Mathieu Joseph to Syracuse (AHL).
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.
Leddy (lower-body) is expected to be back in the Islanders lineup on Tuesday.
Leddy missed the last three games with a lower-body issue but is expected to replace Noah Dobson against the Predators. Leddy has 11 points (2G / 9A) and a plus-5 rating in 23 games this season.
