ST. LOUIS — Jordan Binnington, who came from off the bench to lead the Blues to the franchise's first Stanley Cup in 2019, on Thursday signed a six-year contract extension with an average annual value of $6 million.
Binnington would have been an unrestricted free agent after the season. He had signed a two-year contract with an annual average value of $4.4 million after the Stanley Cup season.
Getting their star goaltender under contract was a major issue for the Blues, who had only one other goalie, the inexperienced backup Ville Husso, under contract.
