Blues Blank Flames

Goalie Jordan Binnington stopped 40 shots for his sixth career shutout in St. Louis' 5-0 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.

 

Oskar Sundqvist scored twice, Zach Sanford had a goal and three assists, David Perron and Dunn also scored and Robert Thomas added three assists to lead the Blues to their largest victory margin of season. St. Louis also improved to 9-1-2 in their last 12 games.

 

Dunn's open-ice check on Andrew Mangiapane midway through the second period woke the crowd and the Blues. Perron capitalized with a power-play goal to push the lead to 3-0.

 

Binnington, who helped the Blues to their first Stanley Cup title last season, got his first shutout this season. His biggest save came late in the second when he halted Johnny Gaudreau on a breakaway.

 

David Rittich finished with 26 saves for Calgary, which has lost six in a row while being outscored 23-5.

 

The Blues host Nashville on Saturday.
