Jordan Binnington Eyeing Ninth Straight Win
6 years agoSt. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington will be starting on Tuesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The rookie has put up shutouts in his past two starts, stopping all 52 shots that have come his way. Binnington has exploded onto the scene and almost single-handedly brought the Blues back into the playoff picture. He has a 12-1-1 record to go along with a 1.58 goals-against average, .937 save percentage, and four shutouts. The Maple Leafs pose a tough test for the rookie as they sit fourth in the league in goals per game (3.55). With that in mind, Binnington already has a 32-save shutout of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who sit first in the league in goals per game (3.88), under his belt. While it is not a great matchup by any means, there is no reason to doubt Binnington and the Blues in this spot. Roll with him on Tuesday.
