Binnington Stops 35 in Loss to Rangers
Jordan Binnington allowed four goals on 39 shots in Saturday’s 4-0 loss to the Rangers. Binnington allowed a pair of goals in the opening period and two more power-play markers in the third, while the Blues failed to crack Igor Shesterkin at the other end of the ice in a 4-0 loss. The 30-year-old netminder had been sharp of late despite limited support offensively, going 2-1-1 with a .939 save percentage in four starts coming into Saturday’s outing. Overall, Binnington is 22-18-3 with a .911 save percentage and 2.86 GAA this season. St. Louis will look to end a three-game losing skid on the road Monday versus the Bruins.
Pastrnak Nets Third Straight 40-Goal Season
David Pastrnak scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 5-1 win over the Penguins. Pastrnak pushed the Bruins up 1-0 early in the second period with a one-timer from the high slot. He became the fourth Bruins player to have four 40-goal seasons, joining Phil Esposito (seven times), Rick Middleton (five) and Cam Neely (four). Pasta sits fourth in NHL scoring with 93 points, and his 40 goals put him in a tie with Nathan MacKinnon for fourth overall.
