Blues run winning streak to 10 games
St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington made 31 saves and the Blues extended their winning streak to 10 games by posting their third straight shutout, a 4-0 victory over the host Wild on Sunday.
St. Louis hasn’t allowed a goal in 187:16, since late in an 8-3 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.
Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and two assists and Ryan O’Reilly, Vince Dunn and Brayden Schenn also scored to help the Blues match the best winning streak in franchise history, completed in January 2002. The run also ties St. Louis for the longest streak in the NHL this season. The Blues have won eight straight on the road, their best such run since a 10-gamer in 2000.
“It’s all good stuff,” interim head 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.”
Binnington improved to 12-1-1 since making his first NHL start Jan. 7 with his fourth shutout on the road.
“I think everyone’s happy as a team for that, and it just shows how good we’re playing as a team,” Binnington said. “I think it’s fun to be a Blues fan now.”
