Hill will not play Monday vs. Blues
Adin Hill (undisclosed) will not play Monday in St. Louis, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Hill isn’t traveling with the team but it sounds like there’s a chance he could join them during the upcoming four-game stretch. If not, his next chance to play would be April 2 against the Canucks back in Vegas. The 27-year-old was injured Saturday against Columbus but still earned a win by stopping 12 of 13 shots. Logan Thompson will start Monday against the Blues with Jiri Patera backing up.
Binnington Hangs on for win No. 25
Jordan Binnington made 30 saves in Saturday’s 5-4 overtime win over the Wild. He was the busier of the two netminders, facing 34 shots to Marc-Andre Fleury’s 27, but after allowing three goals in a wobbly second period, Binnington rallied over the final 20-plus minutes. The 30-year-old goalie has given up four tallies in three of his last five starts, but he’s still gone 5-3-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .926 save percentage in March. Saturday’s win was the 25th of the season for Binnington, the third time in his career he’s reached that mark.
