Binnington is expected to guard the home goal in Thursday's preseason game versus Dallas.
The Blues have just one preseason contest beyond this -- they'll face Chicago on Saturday -- so this might be Binnington's last start before the 2024-25 campaign gets underway. The 31-year-old netminder posted a 28-21-5 record, 2.84 GAA and .913 save percentage across 57 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. He's expected to open the season as the Blues' No. 1 goaltender, while Joel Hofer is set to serve as his understudy.
