In St Louis, Jordan Binnington made 19 saves to pick up a 2-0 shut out of the visiting Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.
“We were good tonight right off the bat, hot start,” Binnington said. “A couple chances didn’t go our way, we didn’t get it home, but we stayed with it the whole game and finally in the end there, [Tyler Bozak] put one home. So yeah, it was a good finish for us.”

Binnington now has five shutouts since joining the Blues.
Tyler Bozak and Alex Pietrangelo scored for the Blues.
“We worked hard getting pucks back that whole power play,” Bozak said. “Obviously, [Tarasenko] made a great play to me through the seam, (and) I just tried to shoot it quick. I knew we had bodies at the net. I knew there was a chance I could score. I was hoping it [would go] in or there’d be a rebound for someone else. Luckily, it found a hole.”
St Louis is 13-1-1 in their last 15 matches.
Wayne Simmonds made his debut with the Preds after being traded away from the Philadelphia Flyers.
“I don’t want to think too much about it,” Simmonds said. “I just want to go out there and play. Obviously, I think I can play better than that, but just kind of getting my feet wet and getting into it. That was, I guess, baptism by fire because that was a pretty intense game.”

Juuse Saros made 42 saves in the loss.
“Maybe we could have at least gotten a point or something, but yeah, it’s a tough way to lose,” Saros said.
