Report: EBUG to Dress for St Louis Blues

Ladies and gentlemen we could be seeing David Ayres 2.0 for the St Louis Blues tonight as starter Jordan Binnington is out due to COVID-19 protocol and the team's EBUG is expected to dress.

Kyle Konin may be given his chance to live his dream tonight when the Blues take on the Tampa Bay Lightning in Florida tonight. We all saw what happened with Ayres and the Carolina Hurricanes in Toronto against the Maple Leafs, so we're certainly curious to see if another Disney movie is going to be made after tonight.

Konin is from West Kingston, Rhode Island, 23 and is 6'0 and 185-pounds. The last season of hockey recorded on HockeyDB was back in 2018-19 when Konin backstopped the Vermont Lumberjacks of the EHL. 

Konin isn't the only EBUG to dress in the past 24 hours as the Colorado Avalanche had Jett Alexander suit up for warm ups last night in Toronto after starter Darcy Kuemper was a late scratch.

As for the Blues, they are hopeful their EBUG is coming in hot and by the sounds of it, he sure is! 

Armstrong on tonight's emergency goalie, Kyle Konin: "Craig and I talked to him about 20 minutes ago and had a good conversation. He had a morning skate today with his beer league guys and he said he was on fire and ready to go. So we're excited to have him in here." #stlblues
