Goalie Start
Binnington led the Blues onto the ice for warmups.
The Blues have signed Mackenzie MacEachern to a two-year extension worth $1.8 million ($900K AAV).
After splitting the 2018-19 campaign between the NHL and AHL, MacEachern spent the entire 2019-20 season (until it was paused) with the Blues, scoring seven goals with three assists (10 points) in 50 games. The 26-year-old, former third-round pick now has 10 goals and five assists (15 points) in 79 career NHL games and will now be a fixture in St. Louis' bottom-6 for at least the next few seasons.
The Blues signed Tyler Tucker to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Tucker was a seventh-round pick in 2018 and finished the 2019-20 OHL season eighth among defensemen with 56 points (17G / 39A) in 55 games between the Barrie Colts and Flint Firebirds. He will likely report to San Antonio (AHL) when he turns pro.
The Blues signed Hugh McGing to a two-year, entry-level contract.
McGing was a fifth-round pick (No. 138 overall) in 2018 and finished his senior season with a team-high 35 points (13G / 22A) in 35 games at Western Michigan University. He will likely report to San Antonio (AHL) for the 2020-21 season.
The Blues signed Mathias Laferriere to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Laferriere was a sixth-round draft pick in 2018 and finished fifth on Cape Breton (QMJHL) with 48 points (20G / 28A) despite playing just 40 of the 63 games. The 19-year-old has one more year of junior eligibility but will report to San Antonio (AHL) if he turns pro.
The Maple Leafs have signed Mikhail Abramov to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Abramov, 18, was a fourth-round pick of the Maple Leafs this past summer. Abramov has had a terrific QMJHL season, leading Victoriaville with 76 points (35G / 41A) in 63 games.
Faulk (upper-body) is expected to play Monday but is listed as a game-time decision.
Goalie Start
Binnington will start against the Panthers on Monday.
Binnington allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Blues loss in New Jersey last Friday. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for Binnington, who comes into Monday at 20-4-5 with a 2.21 GAA, .918 SV% and three shutouts on home-ice. Tonight he’ll see a Panthers team that has gone 4-2-0 while averaging 3.83 goals for and 3.00 goals against per game in their last six road outings.
Krug (upper-body) will not play in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Krug was in a few tussles during the Bruins loss to the Lightning on Saturday and is dealing with an upper-body injury heading into Tuesday's game. With Krug out, Connor Clifton will play for the first time since December 29th. Consider Krug as day-to-day heading into Friday's game in Buffalo.
Faulk (upper-body) remains day-to-day; will miss his second straight game on Sunday.
