Binnington stopped 17 of 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Stars.
The Blues were effective at limiting the Stars' chances. This led to a lighter workload for Binnington, who did just well enough to grab his first win in three preseason appearances. The 31-year-old netminder enters 2024-25 as the Blues' top goalie. He should be projected for around 55 games, with Joel Hofer likely to take the rest of the work as the backup.
