Seattle Kraken - St. Louis Blues - Oct 8, 2024 | NHL.com NHL Gamecenter - Seattle Kraken vs. St. Louis Blues, Oct 8, 2024 - summary, stats, boxscore, play by play, recap and more.
Jordan Binnington - Starting against Seattle Binnington will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road contest versus the Kraken, according to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.
Impact Binnington enters his eighth NHL season atop of St. Louis' goaltending depth chart. The 31-year-old regained his form in 2023-24, going 28-21-5 with a .913 save percentage and a 2.84 GAA in 57 regular-season games. The Ontario native should be able to fend off Joel Hofer for the No. 1 netminding role if he can replicate his play from last season. Binnington posted a 2-0 record against Seattle in 2023-24, turning aside a combined 63 of 67 shots on goal.

Zack Bolduc - Could be an option Tuesday Bolduc was recalled from AHL Springfield on Tuesday.
Impact Bolduc was assigned to AHL Springfield on Monday, but the move now appears to have been procedural. The 21-year-old is eligible to play in Tuesday's contest against Seattle, but it remains to be seen if he will draw into the lineup. Bolduc is more likely to begin the season as St. Louis' 13th forward. The left-shot center garnered nine points (five goals) in 25 regular-season games with the Blues last season.

Torey Krug - Lands on non-roster list Krug (ankle) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
Impact Krug won't play in the 2024-25 campaign. He had ankle surgery in September to address pre-arthritic changes. The 33-year-old rearguard supplied four goals, 39 points, 162 shots on net and 111 blocked shots across 77 contests during the 2023-24 regular season. In Krug's absence, Justin Faulk and newcomer Philip Broberg will have increased roles in 2024-25, including more power-play time.

Oskar Sundqvist - Lands on injured non-roster Sundqvist (knee) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
Impact Sundqvist sustained a torn ACL in March and was initially expected to be ready for Opening Night, but he'll need more time to recover before he's cleared to make his season debut. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action. Over 71 appearances with St. Louis last year, he tallied six goals and 21 points.

Brandon Saad - Not traveling with team Saad is back in St. Louis for the birth of his child and was placed on non-roster injured reserve Monday.
Impact Saad is for sure going to be sidelined against Seattle on Tuesday and probably should be considered a doubt for the whole three-game road trip. Even once he links up with the team, the veteran winger will likely have to settle for a bottom-six role, though he could still see minutes with the man advantage.

Simon Robertsson - Put on injured non-roster Robertsson (upper body) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
Impact Robertsson has dealt with an upper-body injury since late September and was initially considered day-to-day, but he'll spend some time on the shelf to begin the regular season. Once he's healthy, it wouldn't be surprising to see him head to AHL Springfield.

Zack Bolduc - Dropped to minors Bolduc was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Monday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Bolduc shared time between the AHL and NHL during the 2023-24 regular season, producing 25 points (eight goals, 17 assists) in 50 minor-league outings and nine points (five goals, four assists) in 25 appearances with St. Louis. He should be among the first call-ups for the Blues this campaign.

Impact Zherenko posted a 12-14-1 record with a 3.49 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 29 AHL contests during the 2023-24 regular season. He will likely spend most, if not all, of 2024-25 in the minors.
