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.

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.

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.

Rosen played in four straight games but will take a seat with Anton Lindholm making his season debut in Chicago. Rosen has two assists while playing 13:49 ATOI in eight games since being called-up.
