Tabbed to start Monday Husso was the first goalie off of morning skate, indicating that he'll start in Monday's home game versus the Golden Knights, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Husso was impressive in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche, steering away 32 shots. On the other hand, Jordan Binnington is on a five-game losing streak while posting an .885 save percentage. Head coach Craig Berube is making a statement to the faltering Blues by starting Husso, who should have his hands full because the Golden Knights rank 10th in the league with 3.14 goals per game.

Impact The Blues are getting healthy, so they need to create roster space and salary-cap space. The 25-year-old center has produced an assist, 13 shots on net and 22 hits through 13 games this season. If he clears, he'll land on the taxi squad.

He's up to 13 goals, 34 points, 82 shots on net and a plus-13 rating in 37 appearances this year. He should continue to be productive in a top-line role.

Loses heartbreaker Saturday Husso stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact Husso nearly guided the Blues into overtime, but Cale Makar beat him on a long-range shot with 41 seconds left in regulation, and the Avalanche held on to win. The 26-year-old Husso slipped to 6-4-1 with a 3.28 GAA and an .891 save percentage after the unlucky loss. The Blues' next back-to-back is Friday and Saturday at home versus the Wild -- Husso is likely to start one of those games, but it's not yet known if he'll draw in before then.

Gets starting nod Saturday Husso will defend the road goal in Saturday's game versus the Avalanche, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Husso gets the nod after Jordan Binnington allowed three goals on 39 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche. The 26-year-old Husso has struggled to maintain his game this season, posting an .885 save percentage and 6-3-1 record. He's a high-risk fantasy play, but the Avalanche have been piling on the shots of late, so he should have high upside, too.

Impact Barbashev resumed his fourth-line role after an 18-game absence to recovery from surgery on his injured left ankle. He has six points, 20 hits and a plus-5 rating through 18 contests. The Russian forward probably won't score enough to earn interest in fantasy.

Impact Dunn missed one game with the injury, thanks to a break in the Blues' schedule. The 24-year-old has 12 points, 60 shots on goal, 42 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 34 contests this year. He should continue to see second-pairing usage.

The 29-year-old Tarasenko has settled in fairly well with eight points and 40 shots in 12 games this season. The Russian winger should continue to be a productive member of the Blues' top six.

Impact Schenn set up Mike Hoffman's goal in the first period. The 29-year-old Schenn snapped an eight-game point drought with the assist. He's not usually cold for that long. The center has 25 points, 82 shots, 80 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 36 appearances this year. Fantasy managers will hope the end of his drought sees Schenn open the floodgates on offense.

He's still been reliable for the season overall with 13 tallies, 36 points, 98 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 36 outings.
