Jordan Binnington added another strong performance to his rookie postseason campaign Thursday night.
The 2011 third-round draft pick made 27 saves in the Blues' 3-2 win over the Stars in Game 1 of their second-round series. Binnington's five wins in the 2019 playoffs make him the winningest rookie netminder in St. Louis postseason history.
Excluding Game 3 of the first round against Winnipeg, in which he allowed six goals, Binnington has a goals-against average of exactly 2.00 and a .931 save percentage.
The Blues were outshot 29-20 in the game so Binnington's play will continue to be crucial going forward if his teammates aren't able to create more scoring opportunities.
Jordan Binnington improved to 5-2 in the 2019 #StanleyCup Playoffs and established a @StLouisBlues record for most wins in a postseason by a rookie goaltender.
