Binnington sets franchise record for rookie goalie wins

ST. LOUIS - Jordan Binnington set a franchise record Thursday with a 7-3 victory against Philadelphia Flyers.
Binnington posted his 23rd win of the season, passing Blues goalie Jake Allen (22) for the most wins by a Blues rookie goaltender in franchise history.

Allen set the franchise record in the 2014-15 season, posting 22 wins in 37 games played. Binnington set the new record in 31 games.
"Talented guy over there," Binnington said of Allen after tying the record with last Monday's 3-2 shootout win against the Avalanche. "He's a pretty special goaltender. He was back-to-back all-rookie team. He's a great goalie and that's really nice to be recognized with him."
Binnington was named the NHL Rookie of the Month for both February and March
, becoming the first goaltender since Steve Mason in 2008 to win rookie of the month honors in consecutive months.
This season, Binnington is 23-5-1 with a 1.89 goals-against average, a .927 save-percentage and five shutouts.
