Binnington stopped 28 of 30 shots in the Blues win over the Senators on Saturday. Binnington has been outstanding in his last five outings, going 4-0-1 with a 1.19 GAA, .954 SV% and one shutout.

Binnington stopped 21 of 22 shots in the Blues win in Dallas on Saturday. Binnington earned second star of the week honours in the NHL last week after winning all three of his starts while stopping 74 of the 76 shots (.974 SV%) that he faced. He will look to stay hot against an Islanders team that has won 11 of their last 14 games.
