Tue Oct 22 23:50:00 UTC 2024: The St. Louis Blues are set to face the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night, aiming to extend their winning streak to three games after victories against the New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes. Head Coach Drew Bannister plans to maintain a similar lineup, with one notable change: Alexandre Texier will return to the fourth line after recovering from a five-game absence due to an upper-body injury. Bannister emphasized the need to ease Texier back into play, acknowledging his strong performance during training camp.

Additionally, Jordan Binnington will start in goal, replacing Joel Hofer, who had been in net for two consecutive games, including a shutout against the Islanders. Bannister highlighted the significance of this divisional matchup against the unbeaten Jets, indicating it will be a strong test for the team as they look to build on their recent success.

The expected lineup is as follows:
– Forwards: Brandon Saad – Robert Thomas – Jordan Kyrou; Zack Bolduc – Pavel Buchnevich – Jake Neighbours; Dylan Holloway – Brayden Schenn – Mathieu Joseph; Alexandre Texier – Radek Faksa – Kasperi Kapanen
– Defensemen: Ryan Suter – Colton Parayko; Philip Broberg – Justin Faulk; P.O Joseph – Matthew Kessel.
