Binnington Earns Second Shutout of Season
Jordan Binnington recorded an 18-save shutout in Saturday’s 3-0 win over the Capitals. After posting a loss to Washington on Thursday, Binnington rebounded Saturday, albeit in a contest where he didn’t have a ton to do. His teammates gave him a strong defensive effort as the Capitals could not muster double-digit shots in any period, including only four in the third frame. The 30-year-old netminder is now 15-12-2 on the season with a .906 save percentage. The Blues start a three-game road trip this Tuesday in Calgary.
Markstrom Ready to Return for Flames
Jacob Markstrom (lower body) will be available for Tuesday’s home matchup against St. Louis, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan. Markstrom’s return from a three-game absence resulted in Dustin Wolf being sent back to AHL Calgary on Sunday. The 33-year-old Markstrom has a 13-11-2 record this season with one shutout, a 2.59 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 26 appearances. Calgary has not confirmed a starting goalie yet for Tuesday’s contest.
