Mark Stepneski: Dallas Stars goaltender Ben Bishop will be out day-to-day with a lower-body soft tissue injury. Bishop will be re-evaluated today.
Subban can be activated tomorrow
Robby Stanley: Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban is eligible to come off the IR tomorrow but it’s not known yet if he will.
The Blues fire head coach Mike Yeo
St. Louis Blues: The Blues have fired head coach Mike Yeo and named Craig Berube as an interim head coach.
Andy Strickland: “Reality is what it is, #stlblues have far more talent on roster than what they’ve shown this season. Craig Berube has a reputation as a strong communicator where every player knows exactly where they stand.”
Andy Strickland: Should find out this morning if Steve Ott will go behind the bench or if they’ll bring in a new assistant coach.
Jimmy Greenfield: Five reasons why Joel Quenneville would be a perfect match for the Blues
1. Short plane ride home to Chicago.
2. Talented roster.
3. Hawks-Blues don’t play again until April 3.
4. Used to coach there, knows the organization.
5. $20 million in cap space next year.
Under Yeo, STL was a slow-moving team. They generated few shots but allowed an avg number of shots against. Their PDO isn’t wacky – low sv% but high sh%.
The xG chart shows that they generate very little quality for but allow little against.
Their GF% is in line w/ expectation. pic.twitter.com/2fHEwBzthS— Sean Tierney (@ChartingHockey) November 20, 2018
