No doubt about it, the starting goalie for the St. Louis Blues heading into the playoffs will be Jordan Binnington. He had a fantastic playoff run last season and will get another shot this year.

He was an all-star in the 2020 All-Star Game in St. Louis. There is no reason why this cold-blooded puck stopper would be out of the net later this month.

Binnington had his fair share of shaky starts last postseason, but he stilled ripped off the most wins in one playoff run for a rookie goalie with 16 against 10 losses. He had a .914 save percentage and allowed just under two and a half goals per game.

This season he won 30 of 50 games played with 3.56 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage. The advanced metrics say he was a slightly above average goalie (97 GA%-) but Blues fans know he was really good outside of a small cold stretch that brought his stats down.

Whenever this man is in net, the Blues have a chance every single night. Combined with the team in front of him, the Blues should be strong contenders to take their second consecutive Stanley Cup.
