Player Notes

  • Removed from LTIR
    Greig (lower body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

    Advice: It appears as though Greig will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers following a 10-game absence. He has produced two goals, five assists, 18 shots on net and 15 hits in nine appearances this season. Look for him to occupy a middle-six role in his return to action. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
  • Guarding cage Monday
    Vasilevskiy will guard the cage at home versus Dallas on Monday, per NHL.com.

    Advice: Vasilevskiy is still trying to shake off the rust after posting a 1-3-0 record and 3.87 GAA in his four games since returning from injury. Head coach Jon Cooper continues to support the 29-year-old netminder to eventually return to form as a two-time Stanley Cup champion. Even with the slow start, Vasilevskiy should continue to see the majority of the playing time between the pipes for the Lightning. Rotowire.com Today, 12:56 pm
  • Dropped to AHL
    Shepard was returned to AHL Hershey on Monday, per the NHL media site.

    Advice: Shepard will be replaced in the lineup as the backup goalie by Charlie Lindgren (illness), who will return from a one-game absence. Darcy Kuemper will start between the pipes against the Coyotes on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:28 pm
  • Won't travel with team
    Hill (lower body) -- who was already ruled out against the Blues on Monday -- will not join the Golden Knights for their upcoming two-game road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

    Advice: Hill has already missed one game and will now be out of action for the next three based on this latest news. With the 27-year-old unavailable, Logan Thompson should see the majority of the work, though a back-to-back Saturday and Sunday versus the Stars and Sharks, respectively, could open the door for Jiri Patera to make his season debut if Hill still isn't ready.

  • Slated to start Monday
    Binnington is set to patrol the crease on the road against the Golden Knights on Monday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Binnington has allowed four or more goals in three of his last five outings, posting a 4.45 GAA and .879 save percentage to go with a 2-1-0 record in that span. Backup Joel Hofer hasn't fared much better, losing each of his previous two games, so the Blues look set to roll with Binnington and hope he can rediscover his game. Rotowire.com Today, 11:45 am
