NEWARK, NJ - The Blues used a three-goal outburst in the first period to earn a 3-0 victory against the Devils at Prudential Center Wednesday night. Robert Thomas opened the scoring just nine seconds after the opening puck drop.

Jordan Binnington stopped 31 shots for the 16th shutout of his career and set the St. Louis franchise record with his 152nd victory as the Blues beat the New Jersey Devils 3-0 on Wednesday night.Binnington's franchise record win came in the 298th game of his NHL career and moved him past Mike Liut.

Liut now serves as Binnington’s agent and was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in January 2024. When Binnington told Liut he would attend the induction ceremony, Liut responded with “it will be one of the last few times you get to look at the Blues’ all-time wins leader without looking in the mirror.”
