PHILADELPHIA — Jordan Binnington made 25 saves for a shutout in his first NHL start, and the St. Louis Blues handed the Philadelphia Flyers their seventh straight loss, 3-0 at Wells Fargo Center on Monday.
Binnington played three previous NHL games, including two this season, all in relief.
Brayden Schenn, Vladimir Tarasenko and David Perron scored for St. Louis (17-19-4), which won for the second time in five games.
Carter Hart made 35 saves for Philadelphia (15-21-6). The Flyers have been shut out six times this season, tied with the Vancouver Canucks for most in the NHL.
The Flyers’ losing streak is their longest since they went 10 straight without a win from Nov. 11-Dec. 2, 2017.
Schenn scored 41 seconds into the second period to make it 1-0. Jaden Schwartz shot off the rush from the right circle. Hart made a pad save, but the rebound kicked into the slot for Schenn.
Tarasenko made it 2-0 at 11:00 of the third period with a shot from the left face-off circle.
Perron scored an empty-net goal with 1:48 remaining for the 3-0 final score.
Blues forward Alexander Steen left the game with 10:57 remaining in the first period because of an upper-body injury. St. Louis started the game with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
