Fresh off an action-packed game against the Minnesota Wild, the Blues are in Washington, D.C. to face the 33-29-7 Capitals (6 p.m., BSMW, 101 ESPN). A new face is expected to join the lineup tonight following the two-game suspension of Jordan Binnington. Joel Hofer will make his Blues season debut.
"[Hofer's] got a lot of swagger to his game," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said. "Mentally, he's up for the challenge. He exudes a lot of confidence in his game and has good ability."
