Without a doubt the biggest story in hockey for 2019 was the turnaround of the St. Louis Blues who went from the leagues basement at the start of January, to Stanley Cup Champions by playoffs end. This historic run was led by goaltender Jordan Binnington, who made his season debut with a 3-0 shutout against the Philadelphia Flyers and finished the season with a 24-5-1 record, leading the Blues into the NHL Playoffs. From there, he continued his magical run on route to the Stanley Cup and set a new record for most playoff wins by a rookie goaltender in NHL history. This season Binnington has continued his stellar play as the Blues may once again be the favorites to come out of the Western Conference.
