It's not every day you see a goaltender notch an assist, let alone two, but St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington did exactly that against the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.
His first came in the opening on the first goal of the night. He passed the puck to Zac Bolduc, who skated it out into the neutral zone, passing it off and then receiving it once more to pot the goal.
His second came as the Blues got some insurance with an empty-net goal from Pavel Buchnevich.
With just one assist in 51 games this season, Binnington now has three points — a career-best for him. With eight career assists now, the 30-year-old goaltender is a far cry behind Tom Barrasso, who had 48 goalie points across his 19 seasons.
On top of a career-high in assists, Binnington is also enjoying his best season between the pipes since the Blues' 2018-19 Stanley Cup win, posting a .912 save percentage and a 2.83 goals-against average, despite his team sitting six points out of a playoff spot.
