Binnington gave up three goals on 42 shots in the Blues' loss to the Predators on Saturday. Binnington was given the night off on Monday, so he'll go tonight in Tampa Bay. He is 4-2-1 with a 2.67 GAA and .914 SV% in seven road outings this season. In his first start against Tampa Bay, he faced just 18 shots, stopping 17 of them in a 3-1 win. It likely won't be that easy again tonight.
Krug has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but the Bruins are hopeful that he will play on Saturday. Krug will likely take his spot on the top power-play unit and returns with 13 points (2G / 11A) in 17 games this season.
Binnington allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Blues win in Calgary on Saturday. Binnington has now won five in a row and has given up just 11 goals on 162 shots (.932 SV%) over that stretch. He is proving that the second-half of 2019 was not a fluke and that he is in fact one of the best goalies in the NHL right now. He is a terrific option against a Coyotes team that played in Washington last night.
Krug suffered an upper-body injury on Sunday and won't play Tuesday but the Bruins are not ruling him out of their back-to-back on Friday/Saturday. Krug is still be evaluated and the team is expected to release more information later in the week.
Krug was forced to leave Sunday's game vs. the Flyers with an upper-body injury and did not return. The Bruins recalled Urho Vaakanainen from Providence (AHL) on Monday, suggesting that Krug will not be available vs. the Panthers.
Binnington allowed one goal on 34 shots in the Blues win in Vancouver on Tuesday. Jake Allen gave him the night off on Wednesday, so Binnington will get the call Saturday in Calgary. He has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.80 GAA and .912 SV% on the road this season but will be tested in Calgary. The Flames are 6-1-1 and have scored 4.00 goals per game in their first eight home games of 2019-20.
Texier missed four games with a knee injury that he suffered in Philadelphia on October 26th. A combination of Jakob Lilja and Kole Sherwood helped replace Texier, who will reclaim his spot in the Columbus bottom-6 in Arizona on Thursday night. Texier has two goals on 15 shots (13.3 SH%) and one assist in 11 games this season.
Leddy will remain sidelined by a lower-body injury on Wednesday, missing his fourth consecutive game. Noah Dobson will remain in the lineup with Leddy sidelined.
Binnington allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Blues victor vs. the Blue Jackets last Friday. Jake Allen finally gave him a night off on Saturday but they'll go right back to Binnington in Vancouver. Binnington has gone 5-1-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .926 SV% in his last six starts, putting him back firmly among the top goalies in the league. The Canucks' offence is among the best in the league right now but it's hard to justify benching Binnington.

Witkowski was a healthy scratch in New Jersey but will likely replace Carter Verhaeghe on the fourth-line on Friday. Witkowski has one goal and two assists in 11 games this season.
