St. Louis has lost four in a row and the general manager had seen enough. Craig Berube was fired this week, and Drew Bannister takes over as interim coach. Bannister was coaching Springfield in the AHL and he will have a tough time turning things around as the Blues have been lacking in almost every phase of their game. Two of their losses came against last-place teams, Chicago and Columbus, followed by a 6-4 loss to Detroit. Jordan Binnington is expected in net for St. Louis and he is 8-9-1 with a 3.10 GAA. Binnington has allowed 13 goals his past three games, including five against the Red Wings. Ottawa has won three of five although the Senators come off a 4-1 loss to Carolina on Tuesday. The road team has won 11 of the past 16 meetings. Take the Senators.
