NEWARK, N.J. — Jordan Binnington stopped 31 shots for the 16th shutout of his career and set the St. Louis 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.

Dylan Holloway had two goals and Robert Thomas scored nine seconds into the game for the Blues. Justin Faulk, Pavel Buchnevich, Brandon Saad and Jake Neighbours recorded assists.

St. Louis did all of its scoring in the first period.
