The Blues have been far more competitive lately, but have still lost seven of their last 10 (3-2-5). Binnington has helped the Blues collect at least a point in five straight outings (2-0-3) while posting a solid 2.80 GAA and .912 SV%. The 32-year-old goalie has a 3.11 GAA and .881 SV% in 16 games this season (5-5-5). The Blue enter Friday's contest as slight -103 home underdogs against an Ottawa Senators team that will welcome Brady Tkachuk back into the lineup.
