It is no secret that both St. Louis Blues goalies Jake Allen and Jordan Binnington have both played very well over certain points in the season. However, saying that there is a goalie controversy would be incorrect, Binnington is the number one goalie.
Going into 2019, Binnington was fourth on the Blues goalie depth chart behind Allen, Chad Johnson, and Ville Husso. He was seemingly three injuries away from making an appearance in the NHL, and lucky for him, that’s precisely what happened.
Johnson was signed as a free agent after spending his previous season as a Buffalo Sabre.
