Jordan Binnington has been hearing about his quest to tie and then pass Mike Liut on the Blues’ career wins leaderboard, and he’s been hearing it from Liut himself.

“It’s funny,� Binnington said. “He’s been giving it to me to get this thing going before you kill the buzz. I’m happy I’m up there with him, and I am proud to be up there. It’s a big night for me.�

Binnington earned his 151th career win with the Blues’ 3-2 shootout victory over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night, tying Liut on the franchise leaderboard. Binnington made 22 saves during the win, and stopped all three shots he faced during the shootout. He did not allow a goal at even strength, as Alexander Wennberg beat him twice: once on a power play and once with an extra San Jose attacker on the ice.

The win improved Binnington’s record to 6-8-1 this season.

“It’s very cool,� Binnington said. “I think I’m proud in many ways, and being with this organization, one organization my whole career so far. Just getting wins. I think it’s just a true testament to (how having) guys committed is so important.

“There’s so many different ways to win. Tonight, we competed hard. The guys really made it easy right until the end. They really led the charge tonight, and it’s always different. That’s the fun of the game for me, personally, as a goalie. We’ve just got to keep building as a group with where we’re at.�

Binnington’s career in St. Louis often speaks for itself, with the Stanley Cup championship in 2019 doing most of the talking. As the Blues’ roster has shuffled through changes since the Cup, Binnington has remained one of the constants and he’ll soon earn his way to the top of almost every franchise goaltending leaderboard.

Here’s where he currently ranks:

Wins: Tied for first

Games played: Second (51 behind Liut)

Saves: Third (126 behind second-place Curtis Joseph)

Shutouts: Fifth (one behind fourth-place Glen Hall)

Postseason wins: First

Postseason games played: First

Postseason saves: First

Postseason shutouts: Tied for fifth (one behind fourth-place Curtis Joseph)

“For a goalie that was drafted by this organization, to be here as long as he has and to do what he’s done for this organization, tie that record of Mike’s, it’s special for the team, for the organization and for the player,� Blues coach Drew Bannsiter said. “It’s quite an accomplishment what he’s done here.�

This season, the numbers haven’t been up to Binnington’s usually high standards, as he carries an .888 save percentage and 3.10 goals-against average into a three-game trip that begins Saturday against the Islanders. Much of that is affected by giving up eight goals to Washington on Nov. 9, but even removing that game, Binnington is at a .900 save percentage and 2.76 GAA.

Was Thursday’s performance something he felt helped him get back into his game?

“Not necessarily,� Binnington said. “It was a tricky game. I didn’t have much work and those are kind of tougher to play sometimes. You’ve got to stay in it and be there for the key moments. I liked how I stayed with it and kept the mind clean and stayed with the game. I’ll take that, and I’ve got to keep working.�

The Blues only allowed 17 shots on goal at 5 on 5, and not many of them came from high-danger areas in front of the net.

“That’s just the life of a goalie,� Binnington said. “Just a lot of self talk and staying connected to the game and the play. Some weird stuff back there, but whatever works, really. It’s fun to find a way, and getting that last save and winning the game is good for me.�

For Bannister, Thursday night was another point in his relationship with Binnington that spans more than a decade. He coached Binnington in 2012-13 as an assistant with Owen Sound in the OHL and again in 2018-19 as the head coach with San Antonio in the AHL before spending time with him in St. Louis.

“All the guys are happy for him, why wouldn’t you be?� Bannister said. “He’s a great teammate and he’s a great pro. He deserves everything he gets. … The person he’s become, the man he’s become. Now he’s a family man with a wife and a baby. It’s great to see ‘Binner.’ He’s in a great spot professionally as a hockey player, but as an individual (too).�

Now, the focus turns to win No. 152, which would give him sole possession of first place in franchise history.

“We all knew it was only a matter of time,� Blues forward Jake Neighbours said. “Such a legend in this city. Great goaltender, great teammate, great person. We’re really happy for him and looking forward to the next one and him beating it.�

When the Blues’ Nathan Walker scored just 11 seconds into Thursday night’s eventual shootout win over San Jose, it marked the earliest goal of the NHL season.

Walker capitalized on a poor rim by Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov that was picked off by Radek Faksa, and centered to Walker at the net-front. Faksa started the play by winning the game’s opening faceoff, part of a 6 for 6 first period in the circle for the veteran center.

“I think if you can just have a good shift in itself, let alone get a goal on the first shift, it kind of sets the tone for the game,� Walker said. “‘Faks’ made a great heads up play for me there. … Just stayed in front of the net, and got a nice little deflection on it.�

Walker’s goal was the fastest by a Blues player since Zack Bolduc scored 11 seconds into a game on April 7 in Anaheim. It was tied for the sixth-earliest goal in franchise history. Alexander Steen (March 16, 2010) and Greg Paslawski (Oct. 29, 1985) share the record, at eight seconds.

Walker’s goal was seven seconds faster than the previous quickest tally, which was Michael Kesselring’s goal 18 seconds into Utah’s game in St. Louis on Nov. 7.

The line of Walker, Faksa and Toropchenko is one of just 28 around the NHL that have played at least two hours together at 5 on 5. During that time, the Blues are even (6-6) in goals.

“We’ve got a Russian, a Czech and an Aussie, so the communication is a little tough sometimes,� Walker said.

“It’s good. We chat a lot. We’re good friends on and off the ice, so it definitely makes for a good mix.�

Welcome back

Defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph was the only Blues player on the ice for both the team’s goals scored on Thursday night, as he helped get the puck deep before Walker’s goal in the first period, and then Joseph picked up the primary assist on Jordan Kyrou’s second-period goal.

Joseph was playing his first game in a week following a lower-body injury that forced him to miss three games. In total, he logged 15:53 of ice time with two shot attempts and one blocked shot.

“I thought P.O played very well,� Blues coach Drew Bannister said. “I thought he stepped in and played well. I was happy for him, I was happy for the team.�

With Joseph on the ice at 5 on 5, the Blues outshot the Sharks 13-5. That 72.2% share of shots on goal was the second-highest of the season for Joseph in 14 games played.

Stuck out there

Leading up to Alexander Wennberg’s game-tying goal for San Jose with 8.8 seconds remaining in the third period on Thursday, a quartet of Blues were trudging through shifts that nearly reached three minutes.

Robert Thomas, Pavel Buchnevich, Colton Parayko and Ryan Suter all were on the ice for the 2:39 preceding Wennberg’s goal with the extra attacker. It was by far each player’s longest shift of the evening.

Jake Neighbours, Brayden Schenn and Faksa rotated in as the fifth Blues skater on the ice.

The shift spanned four faceoffs (three lost by Thomas to Macklin Celebrini, one won by Faksa vs. Celebirni) and San Jose’s timeout about a minute into the shift.

The Blues iced the puck with 1:23 left in the third period, so they were not allowed to change, but a stoppage with 45 seconds could have allowed them to get fresh bodies on the ice.

Parayko and Suter lead all Blues skaters in total time on ice at 5 on 5, while Thomas averages more than a minute more of ice time than the next closest Blues forward at 5 on 5.

Jake Neighbours wasn’t supposed to win the game for the Blues on Thursday night. Because he wasn’t initially going to be one of the three St. Louis shooters in a 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

But coach Drew Bannister and the Blues coaching staff swapped Neighbours into the order, and Neighbours delivered with the game-deciding goal in the third round of the shootout. Neighbours’ goal lifted the Blues to just their second win in the last eight games and also snapped a four-game losing streak at Enterprise Center.

“I think it was important for us to win this hockey game for the fans that come to support us,� Bannister said. “It’s a good step in the right direction here moving forward onto the road.�

Nathan Walker and Jordan Kyrou scored for the Blues, who received 22 saves from Jordan Binnington as he collected his 151st win, tying him with Mike Liut for the most in franchise history. Alexander Wennberg scored twice for the Sharks, including his goal with 8.8 seconds left in regulation that sent the game into overtime.

St. Louis will now play seven of its next eight games on the road, beginning with Saturday’s game on Long Island against the Islanders.

It was the first shootout of the season for the Blues, as all four of their previous games that needed extra time ended in overtime. So this fall, Bannister hadn’t shown what he would do in that situation, particularly against rookie goaltender Yaroslav Askarov making his first start in a San Jose uniform.

Brayden Schenn shot first, which is not all that surprising given that he was the only Blue to shoot in all seven shootouts last season. Schenn faked a forehand and sent a backhand wide to Askarov’s left. Kyrou went second, sped into his approach, slowed it down and then also tried a backhand, this time one that glanced off Askarov’s right leg.

“We haven’t seen Askarov a lot,� Bannister said. “Obviously, it’s his first game (with San Jose). I knew him a little bit in the American League, but just digging into some of his shootouts, we thought that he’d bite a little bit on what we were trying to do early. So we just made a quick decision to go with more of a shooting threat.�

The original choice might have been someone like Robert Thomas (went first in the first three shootouts under Bannister last season) or Pavel Buchnevich (whose 30% conversion rate was higher than Schenn’s 28% or Kyrou’s 24%). But the Blues landed on Neighbours, and he had some help from Blues goaltending coach David Alexander.

“I try not to think about (facing a new goalie) too much, just tried to watch the guys that went before me and see what his stance was like,� Neighbours said. “Davey’s obviously radioing down from the top and giving us some tips. We looked at a little video quick before the shootout, but at the end of the day, every player’s kind of got a couple go-tos, and that was one of mine.�

The left-handed shooting Neighbours swooped in from the left wing towards the slot, and then shot back that way, placing a shot glove-side on Askarov above his pad. What did Neighbours see in Askarov’s stance?

“Gets really wide, he’s really good laterally, so I didn’t think I was going to beat him side to side or anything like that,� Neighbours said. “Just thought try and go down, freeze him and shoot. … Ideally, you’re trying to drag him across the middle point of the net so that you can go back against the grain. He actually held it pretty good, just hit my shot.�

Maybe Neighbours has worked his way into a permanent spot in the Blues’ rotation, as he’s now 3 for 4 in his NHL career. He’s only the second player in NHL history with at least four shootout attempts and at least a 75% conversion rate, the other being former Minnesota defenseman Petteri Nummelin.

In Blues franchise history, there are only four players with at least four attempts that are over 50%: Neighbours, Brad Boyes (53.7%), T.J. Oshie (52.5%) and Andy McDonald (51.6%). Of course, those previous players had much, much more experience than Neighbours, with 131 combined shootout attempts between them.

As the Blues wrestled with their shootout order, Binnington handled his business on the other end.

He stopped Mikael Granlund’s wrist shot, he got the shaft of his stick on Macklin Celebrini’s attempt, and then stoned William Eklund with the game on the line.

Since Binnington became an NHL regular in 2018-19, only one goalie has played in more shootouts (Darcy Kuemper), only one goalie has more wins (Juuse Saros), and only two have made more saves (Jacob Markstrom and Saros).

“It’s been a tough stretch of finding ways to win, so we’re going to take that win and it felt good,� Binnington said.

The Blues escaped disaster after the Sharks tied the game late. St. Louis had multiple chances to salt the game away with an empty-net goal, but either couldn’t get a shot off, or couldn’t get a shot on net. Failed clearances in the final minute led to Wennberg’s second goal of the game, earning San Jose a point and suddenly casting doubt on the candidacy of St. Louis’ potential second point.

“I thought we were great on the bench (after the tying goal),� Bannister said. “Their focus was on getting the two points and not what had just happened. That’s a step in the right direction for us right now moving forward again. Getting two points before we go on the road was important for us. I just liked our reaction after that puck went in the net. It was just ‘Let’s go get the two points now, guys.’�

Neighbours: “We still had an opportunity to get two points, and at the end of the day, that’s what you come to the rink to try and do. It’s obviously not ideal giving up one with nine seconds or whatever it was left. But we got the job done, and that’s what matters.�

Overtime came and went with just three combined shots on goal between the teams, and then it was time for Binnington and Neighbours to earn a victory.

“That’s where you get tested,� Binnington said. “You’re so close, eight seconds away from a 2-1 win, and now you’ve got to battle it out in overtime, shootout. Just got to dig in and come out on top. Jakey came up big in the shootout there. That’s what sports are about, right? Just finding a way to win and seeing that competitor come out in key moments.�

The Blues’ announcement of a women’s professional hockey game to be played at Enterprise Center next spring is more than just a one-off event.

It marks the continuation of the team’s commitment to growing women’s hockey in St. Louis.

The Ottawa Charge will face the Boston Fleet on March 29 at Enterprise Center in a regular-season Professional Women’s Hockey League game, the last of a nine-game barnstorming tour the league has planned for early 2025.

Tickets for the event go on sale to the public on Friday at .

The work to land this event began when Blues President and CEO Chris Zimmerman watched a PWHL showcase game at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game in Toronto and expressed the organization’s interest in hosting a game to league executives.

It’s a league he thinks highly of.

The PWHL “put the best players in the world onto those six teams,� Zimmerman said. “And I think their first year of play last season certainly met or exceeded most people’s expectations in terms of fan engagement, interest, crowds — pick your metric.�

One of the players who will take part in the game grew up in the St. Louis area. Ottawa Charge defender Jincy Roese (formerly Jincy Dunne) is an O’Fallon, Missouri, native who played for the St. Louis Lady Blues as a teen. She won silver at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Plus, Boston forward Taylor Girard played at Lindenwood before transferring to Quinnipiac.

The larger push to grow women’s hockey in St. Louis began in 2015, when the Blues announced their “Hockey STL 2020� campaign, which was highlighted by the creation of two girls hockey clubs, the youth program and the girls program.

When the Blues hosted the All-Star Game in 2020, that provided another catalyst to grow the women’s game. The Blues prioritized women’s hockey development as the legacy project for the event and began their which provides low-cost opportunities for girls of all ages to begin their youth hockey playing careers.

Participation has more than doubled in four years. The developmental programs don’t stop with players. They also foster female referees and include all-female coaching clinics.

The Blues organization is also finalizing plans to launch and host an all-girls ages 12-and-under tournament beginning next year.

“We’ve been working on a consistent objective of continuing to build girls and women’s hockey in St Louis,� Zimmerman said. “Whether it was having USA play Canada (in 2021) or some of the other professional women’s games we’ve had, they’ve been well received.�

“Fundamentally, one of our primary objectives is to grow the game,� Zimmerman said. “The opportunity to get more girls and women playing has been really clear to us for some time, and so we are.�

The PWHL is entering its second season after a and is owned by Los Angeles Dodgers chairman and native Midwesterner Mark Walter. The league runs all of the six teams: Boston Fleet, Minnesota Frost, Montreal Victoire, New York Sirens, Ottawa Charge and Toronto Sceptres.

The professional women’s game at Enterprise Center is just one of many major hockey events in St. Louis in recent years, including the 2025 NCAA Frozen Four, which will take place two weekends after the PWHL showcase.

“I think we’ve established ourselves as one of the best hockey towns in America in terms of our fan base,� Zimmerman said. “We are interested in being able to really host every major event and continue to show people what a great hockey town St. Louis is, and I think the fact that we continue to win these types of events is a testament to what we’re accomplishing.�

Could it eventually lead to even more women’s professional hockey games here? The PWHL is set to as early as the 2025-26 season, and at least has mentioned St. Louis as a candidate.

League executive Amy Scheer referenced the locations of neutral-site games as “an exciting moment for our players and an important move for our business as we consider expansion,� according to a news release.

Zimmerman remained largely quiet on the subject, saying there had been no discussions on the expansion topic.

Regardless of what the PWHL’s expansion future holds, St. Louis is continuing to build itself into a hotbed of women’s hockey.

“The Blues and, quite honestly, all the people connected to our local hockey market to continue to develop the girls and women’s game, and this is another nice step in that direction,� Zimmerman said.

Across the past two seasons, this particular shade of blue has given the Blues the blues.

Entering Thursday night’s 3-2 Blues shootout win, the teal-clad Sharks have repeatedly handed St. Louis all the trouble it could handle. The Blues were winless last year against the Sharks, including a devastating home loss late in the season that crippled whatever playoff chances remained. This season, the Sharks jumped out to a three-goal lead before St. Louis stormed back for an overtime win.

On Thursday night, not even the pesky Sharks could prevent the Blues from once again reentering the win column.

Jake Neighbours scored the game-deciding goal in the third round of the shootout for St. Louis.

Jordan Kyrou and Nathan Walker scored in regulation for the Blues. Jordan Binnington made 22 saves as he tied Mike Liut for the most wins in franchise history (151).

Alexander Wennberg scored twice for the Sharks, including the game-tying goal with the extra attacker with 8.8 seconds left in the third period. Wennberg’s equalizer came after the Blues passed up multiple chances to ice the game with an empty-net goal.

“They’re a team that’s always in it,� Blues coach Drew Bannister said before the game. “They’re a relentless team. They never find themselves out of games. You look at the game (Wednesday) night (in Dallas), it’s 3-2 late in the game. They have a lot of belief in the room, and they’re playing hard. They look up at the score clock and they’re down by 20 shots and maybe it’s a 1-0 game, they’re very comfortable playing in those games.�

The Blues open a three-game road trip against the Islanders, Rangers and Devils on Saturday night on Long Island.

Snapping a skid

Kyrou’s second-period goal ended his six-game goalless streak, and he ended the streak in a similar way that he ended his previous drought: by driving to the net.

Kyrou stuffed home Pierre-Olivier Joseph’s centering pass from the boards after Joseph overlapped Robert Thomas to possess the puck with speed down the wall. It was Kyrou’s first goal since Nov. 7 against Utah, but Kyrou had five assists and 17 shots on goal during the drought.

Earlier this season, Kyrou had a 10-game drought that ended on Nov. 2 against Toronto, when a puck deflected off him at the net front and past Joseph Woll. Kyrou’s goal was the only one of a second period played entirely at five on five.

The goal was Kyrou’s sixth of the season, which tied him with Neighbours for the team lead.

Taking advantage immediately

The Blues scored just 11 seconds into the game, scoring when Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov turned the puck over along the boards in his own zone, allowing Radek Faksa to set up Walker at the net front for a redirection. It was Askarov’s first touch with the Sharks, as he was making his San Jose debut after getting traded from Nashville over the summer.

Faksa initially won the opening faceoff to Joseph, whose pass to Alexey Toropchenko gained the red line, and Toropchenko installed the puck deep for Askarov to misplay. For Walker, it was his third goal of the season, and Faksa had the primary assist on the past two of them.

Faksa had an involved opening 20 minutes, as he went a perfect 6 for 6 on faceoffs and was also called for hooking at 7:21 of the first period. Faksa’s penalty gave the Sharks 41 seconds of a five on three (the Blues were already killing Zack Bolduc’s interference infraction), but St. Louis got through the two-man advantage.

San Jose, though, scored after Bolduc exited the box, as Wennberg’s power-play goal on the edge of the crease tied the game at 1. Wennberg scored when Mikael Granlund carried the puck behind the net and found Wennberg before Ryan Suter should shift his coverage from the flank to the side of the goal.

The Blues finished the first period with 15 shots on goal. It was the second-most shots in a period this season for St. Louis. The most was the first period on Oct. 10, when the Blues had 22 shots in ... San Jose.

• Blues public address announcer Tom Calhoun celebrated his 1,700th straight home game on Thursday night at Enterprise Center. Calhoun was recognized during a television timeout in the first period for his streak.

As the Blues begin to get healthier on the blue line, an unexpected name has remained in the lineup for St. Louis: Corey Schueneman.

Even with the return of Pierre-Olivier Joseph on Thursday night against San Jose, Schueneman stuck around on the third pairing. Instead, Matthew Kessel sat out as a healthy scratch against the Sharks.

Entering Thursday’s game, Schueneman played three games for the Blues since his recall Friday from AHL affiliate Springfield (Massachusetts). He’s averaged 14:35 of ice time and has only been on the ice for one goal against. Last game against Minnesota, he had three shots on goal.

“I think he’s played extremely well coming up and jumping right into the games,� Blues coach Drew Bannister said. “He’s been around for a while. He’s played a lot of games in the American League, he’s played games in Montreal. He’s more of a veteran player, and you can see that in his game, the confidence that he plays with and stability back there. I think he’s played extremely well.�

Schueneman, 29, played the first 31 with Montreal from 2021-23. Entering Thursday, he had two goals and five assists in his career.

The Blues signed Schueneman as an unrestricted free agent over the summer to a one-year contract worth $775,000 in the NHL and $400,000 in the AHL.

For Kessel, it was the fourth time this season he’s been a healthy scratch and the first time since Oct. 26 at Montreal. He had been in the lineup on the third pair across the previous 11 games before Thursday’s scratch.

The Blues will soon reach a checkpoint for Kessel when he can no longer be sent to the AHL without passing through waivers first. If Kessel plays 12 more games, he will no longer be waivers-exempt.

Joseph, meanwhile, returned after missing three games with a lower-body injury suffered in an overtime loss in Buffalo last week. Joseph fell awkwardly into the corner with Sabres forward Zach Benson wrapped around his leg.

“It just happened so fast, and I felt something abnormal a little bit,� Joseph said. “I’m glad that the result showed that it wasn’t too bad. I’ve been working hard with these guys to get back into it. Just happy to be good now.�

Joseph was back on a defensive pairing with Justin Faulk on Thursday night, a spot he assumed after Philip Broberg got hurt on Nov. 2 vs. Toronto. Faulk — and captain Brayden Schenn — was in the lineup after missing practice Wednesday due to maintenance.

“It was fun to play with him, fun to be back playing a lot and he’s so easy to play with,� Joseph said. “He understands the game so much, has a lot of experience. Just trying to help him out as much as I can and move the puck as fast to the forwards as possible.�

A day before returning to the lineup, Joseph joked that November was not his month. Last year around this time, he was stung by a stingray that forced him to miss more than five weeks of action.

Changing their fortune?

In the past seven games, as the Blues have lost six times, the third period has been an issue. During that span, St. Louis has been outscored 15-7 in the final 20 minutes. Only once in the past 12 games have the Blues outscored their opponent in the third period (Nov. 16 in Boston).

“There’s no question about it: We have to have the mindset of playing to win those games,� Bannister said. “With our confidence, we’re sitting back, waiting for good things to happen for us. We’ve got to push forward here and play to win. When we’re in those situations, those one-goal games, those tied games, we’ve got to push through that and find ways. Once we do, I think our confidence is going to build and the bounces will start to go our way. But we’ve got to work for them.�

Overall, the Blues are minus-11 in the third period, which is the second-worst goal differential in the NHL, ahead of only the Bruins.
