St. Louis’ rookie netminder staved off a furious first period onslaught from the Bruins, turning aside all 17 shots he saw, and his teammates returned the favour to squeak out a 2-1 win in Game 5 on Thursday night.

Binnington has the Blues on the brink of their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Believe it.

“Unbelievable,” Colton Parayko said. “I mean, he won one for us here. It was a huge game by him. Very impressive. I don’t really know, I could talk about that performance all day. It was unreal. Good for him. That was awesome.”

They can lift Lord Stanley on home ice with one more “Gloria” on Sunday night in St. Louis. The winner of Game 5 in a tied Final has gone on to hoist the Cup 18 times in 25 instances.

“Well it wasn’t our best game of the series, but sometimes your goalie is going to make some big saves, especially early on to change the momentum and he did that,” captain Alex Pietrangelo said. “He was unbelievable.”
