Status report
Buchnevich, a forward, was removed from NHL COVID-19 protocol Friday and scored a goal in a 5-0 win against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday, but cannot cross the United States-Canada border and remains in Seattle skating on his own, St. Louis coach Craig Berube said. He is expected to join the Blues to play the Calgary Flames on Monday. ... Husso is expected to start for a third straight game, the first time he's done so with Binnington healthy. ... Four of the Canucks' five goalies under contract have tested positive for COVID-19, forcing them to dress Toth as an emergency backup.
