Jordan Binnington made 31 saves and the visiting St. Louis Blues posted their third consecutiv­e shutout, beating the Minnesota Wild, 4-0, for their 10th win in a row.

Binnington made 21 saves to blank Arizona Thursday, and Jake Allen stopped 32 shots in a 30 win against Colorado Saturday. St. Louis hasn’t allowed a goal in 187:16, since late in an 8-3 win against New Jersey Tuesday.

“It’s all good stuff,” Blues interim coach Craig Berube said. “Players are doing a great job, they’re going out and executing every night and playing hard and doing the right things.”
