The St. Louis Blues have had a history of notable goaltenders. Names like Glenn Hall, Jacques Plante, Mike Liut, Grant Fuhr and Curtis Joseph.
Well, among them all, there’s a new recordholder for wins. Both regular season and postseason.
Jordan Binnington made 31 saves and set the St. Louis Blues’ franchise record for wins with a 3-0 victory against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Wednesday night.
Dylan Holloway scored twice in the first period, and Robert Thomas scored for the Blues (11-12-1), who have won two in a row since Jim Montgomery took over as coach for Drew Bannister on Sunday. They defeated the New York Rangers 5-2 on Monday in his debut.
Binnington earned his 152nd win in just his 298th NHL game, passing Mike Liut, who had 151 wins in 347 games in his career.
Liut, 68, currently serves as Binnington’s agent and was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in January 2024. When Binnington told Liut he would attend the induction ceremony, Liut responded with “it will be one of the last few times you get to look at the Blues’ all-time wins leader without looking in the mirror.”
“I want to watch him achieve that record. It should be him,” Liut said in a recent episode of Life as a Blue. “He won the Stanley Cup here, he should have it.”
Per NHL.com, Binnington is one of only four active NHL goaltenders to lead their franchise’s all-time wins list, joining Seattle’s Philipp Grubauer, Tampa Bay’s Andrei Vasilevskiy and Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck.
