Status report
The Blues held an optional morning skate. … Buchnevich will be a game-time decision after the forward missed the past two games because of an upper-body injury sustained during a 2-1 shootout win against the Seattle Kraken on Oct. 14. He skated in a non-contact jersey Monday. If Buchnevich plays, it could be at left wing on the second line, with Neighbours moving to the fourth line and Alexandrov coming out of the lineup. … Binnington was the first goaltender off the ice Tuesday and is expected to start. … With Jets coach Rick Bowness taking a leave of absence, associate Scott Arniel will serve as interim coach. Bowness' wife, Judy, was hospitalized after having a seizure Sunday. … Iafallo replaces Appleton on Winnipeg's top line.
