Kapanen is out indefinitely with a concussion.

Kapanen missed Monday’s game with what was called an “illness” but the Maple Leafs listed him as “out” due to a concussion. With Kapanen out, William Nylander moved up to play with Auston Matthews on Monday and is expected to skate there again tonight.

Binnington will start Tuesday vs. the Coyotes.

Binnington allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Blues win in Anaheim last Wednesday. Jake Allen started the last two games but they will come back to Binnington tonight vs. Arizona. Binnington has been great this season but has been mediocre in his last five outings—going 3-2-0 with a 2.41 GAA, .902 SV% and one shutout. He posted a 21-save shutout in his first start vs. the Coyotes, who come in on a back-to-back, after losing 7-1 in Chicago last night.

Binnington will start Wednesday in Anaheim.

Binnington allowed three goals on 20 shots in the Blues loss to the Stars on Saturday. It was a rare bad game for Binnington, who leads the NHL in GAA (1.68) and SV% (.933) through 19 starts and two relief appearances. Being one of the NHL’s hottest goaltenders and having a matchup with a Ducks team that has just seven wins in their last 32 games, makes Binnington one of the best options on Wednesday.

Schenn (upper-body) will return to the Blues lineup on Wednesday.

Schenn has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but skated on the top-line in Tuesday’s practice and will play Wednesday in Anaheim. Schenn was red-hot before getting hurt, picking up 15 points (2G / 13A) in his last 14 games.
