Jordan Binnington
St. Louis Blues Goaltender
A .9005 in 56 games, a Stanley Cup, and a reputation built almost entirely on the games that matter most.

This Season So Far
The 2025-26 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.
Last Season
28-22-5 in 56 games with a .9005, a 2.69 average and 3 shutouts, facing 1,457 shots.
The club’s goaltending at five-on-five came in 2.3 goals better than the chances faced, 17th in the league — a league-average season behind a defence that was 3rd at suppressing chances. A .9005 is an ordinary number and it was enough.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 172 and among the lightest goaltenders in the league, which means the technique has to be precise and the athleticism has to fill the gaps.
He plays a conventional depth and he is square more often than not. The rebound control is ordinary and behind a club that suppresses chances as well as this one does, that costs less than it would anywhere else. The lateral recovery is quick and it is the best physical thing about him. He handles the puck adequately.
The Mental Game
This is the whole file and it is a strange one. He has a career .9066 across eight seasons, which is unremarkable, and he has won a Stanley Cup as a rookie, a Four Nations final and a Game 7 in this building — and lost a double-overtime Game 7 in Winnipeg last spring after his club came back from 3-1 down in the series.
He is combative to the point of being a liability some nights and it is not separable from the rest of it. The record in elimination games is the argument and the save percentage is the counter-argument, and both have been true for six years.
The Intangibles
An 88th-overall pick in 2011 who spent six seasons in the minor leagues and did not get an NHL job until he was 25 — then went 24-5-1 with a .927 and won the Cup.
336 games and a career .9066. He is 32 and signed through 2027.
What kind of player
The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.

- ordinaryraised, and called ordinary
Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.
